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