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