Verse G#m G#sus G#m
Take me away from the city
E F# G#m
Lead me to where I can be on my own
G#m G#sus G#m
I wanted to see you but now that I have
E F# G#m
I just want to be left alone
F# B
I'll always remember your kind words
C#m7 D# (E7)
And I'll still remember your name
G#m E
But I've seen you changing and turning
F# G#m
And I know that things won't be the same
[Pre-Chorus]
F# E B F#
[Chorus]
B F# G#m
I remember that summer in Dublin
E B
And the Liffey, yes, it stank like hell
C#m G#m7
And the young people walking on Grafton Street
C#m F#
And everyone looking so well
B F# G#m
I was singing a song I heard somewhere
E B
Called rock and roll never forgets
C#m G#m7
When my humming was smothered by the 46A
C#m F#
And the scream of the low flying jets
B F# G#m
So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire
E B
Stopping off to pick up my guitar
C#m G#m7
When a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich
E F# G#m
I was glad we weren't going to far
[Verse 2]
G#m G#sus G#m
So I'm leaving on Wednesday morning
E F# G#m
Trying to find a place where I can hear
G#m G#sus G#m
The wind and the birds and the sea on the rocks
E F# G#m
And the open road is always near
F# B
And if sometimes I tire of the quiet
C#m7 D# (E7)
And I want to walk back up that hill
G#m E
I'll just get on the road and I'll stick out my thumb
F# G#m
Cause I know for sure you'll be there still
[Chorus] (x2)
B F# G#m
I remember that summer in Dublin
E B
And the Liffey, yes, it stank like hell
C#m G#m7
And the young people walking on Grafton Street
C#m F#
And everyone looking so well
B F# G#m
I was singing a song I heard somewhere
E B
Called rock and roll never forgets
C#m G#m7
When my humming was smothered by the 46A
C#m F#
And the scream of the low flying jets
B F# G#m
So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire
E B
Stopping off to pick up my guitar
C#m G#m7
When a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich
E F# G#m
I was glad we weren't going to far
