Verse F#m F#sus F#m
Take me away from the city
D E F#m
Lead me to where I can be on my own
F#m F#sus F#m
I wanted to see you but now that I have
D E F#m
I just want to be left alone
E A
I'll always remember your kind words
Bm7 C# (E7)
And I'll still remember your name
F#m D
But I've seen you changing and turning
E F#m
And I know that things won't be the same
[Pre-Chorus]
E D A E
[Chorus]
A E F#m
I remember that summer in Dublin
D A
And the Liffey, yes, it stank like hell
Bm F#m7
And the young people walking on Grafton Street
Bm E
And everyone looking so well
A E F#m
I was singing a song I heard somewhere
D A
Called rock and roll never forgets
Bm F#m7
When my humming was smothered by the 46A
Bm E
And the scream of the low flying jets
A E F#m
So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire
D A
Stopping off to pick up my guitar
Bm F#m7
When a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich
D E F#m
I was glad we weren't going to far
[Verse 2]
F#m F#sus F#m
So I'm leaving on Wednesday morning
D E F#m
Trying to find a place where I can hear
F#m F#sus F#m
The wind and the birds and the sea on the rocks
D E F#m
And the open road is always near
E A
And if sometimes I tire of the quiet
Bm7 C# (E7)
And I want to walk back up that hill
F#m D
I'll just get on the road and I'll stick out my thumb
E F#m
Cause I know for sure you'll be there still
[Chorus] (x2)
A E F#m
I remember that summer in Dublin
D A
And the Liffey, yes, it stank like hell
Bm F#m7
And the young people walking on Grafton Street
Bm E
And everyone looking so well
A E F#m
I was singing a song I heard somewhere
D A
Called rock and roll never forgets
Bm F#m7
When my humming was smothered by the 46A
Bm E
And the scream of the low flying jets
A E F#m
So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire
D A
Stopping off to pick up my guitar
Bm F#m7
When a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich
D E F#m
