Verse Gm Gsus Gm
Take me away from the city
D# F Gm
Lead me to where I can be on my own
Gm Gsus Gm
I wanted to see you but now that I have
D# F Gm
I just want to be left alone
F A#
I'll always remember your kind words
Cm7 D (E7)
And I'll still remember your name
Gm D#
But I've seen you changing and turning
F Gm
And I know that things won't be the same
[Pre-Chorus]
F D# A# F
[Chorus]
A# F Gm
I remember that summer in Dublin
D# A#
And the Liffey, yes, it stank like hell
Cm Gm7
And the young people walking on Grafton Street
Cm F
And everyone looking so well
A# F Gm
I was singing a song I heard somewhere
D# A#
Called rock and roll never forgets
Cm Gm7
When my humming was smothered by the 46A
Cm F
And the scream of the low flying jets
A# F Gm
So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire
D# A#
Stopping off to pick up my guitar
Cm Gm7
When a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich
D# F Gm
I was glad we weren't going to far
[Verse 2]
Gm Gsus Gm
So I'm leaving on Wednesday morning
D# F Gm
Trying to find a place where I can hear
Gm Gsus Gm
The wind and the birds and the sea on the rocks
D# F Gm
And the open road is always near
F A#
And if sometimes I tire of the quiet
Cm7 D (E7)
And I want to walk back up that hill
Gm D#
I'll just get on the road and I'll stick out my thumb
F Gm
Cause I know for sure you'll be there still
[Chorus] (x2)
A# F Gm
I remember that summer in Dublin
D# A#
And the Liffey, yes, it stank like hell
Cm Gm7
And the young people walking on Grafton Street
Cm F
And everyone looking so well
A# F Gm
I was singing a song I heard somewhere
D# A#
Called rock and roll never forgets
Cm Gm7
When my humming was smothered by the 46A
Cm F
And the scream of the low flying jets
A# F Gm
So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire
D# A#
Stopping off to pick up my guitar

When a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich
