Verse Fm Fsus Fm
Take me away from the city
C# D# Fm
Lead me to where I can be on my own
Fm Fsus Fm
I wanted to see you but now that I have
C# D# Fm
I just want to be left alone
D# G#
I'll always remember your kind words
A#m7 C (E7)
And I'll still remember your name
Fm C#
But I've seen you changing and turning
D# Fm
And I know that things won't be the same
[Pre-Chorus]
D# C# G# D#
[Chorus]
G# D# Fm
I remember that summer in Dublin
C# G#
And the Liffey, yes, it stank like hell
A#m Fm7
And the young people walking on Grafton Street
A#m D#
And everyone looking so well
G# D# Fm
I was singing a song I heard somewhere
C# G#
Called rock and roll never forgets
A#m Fm7
When my humming was smothered by the 46A
A#m D#
And the scream of the low flying jets
G# D# Fm
So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire
C# G#
Stopping off to pick up my guitar
A#m Fm7
When a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich
C# D# Fm
I was glad we weren't going to far
[Verse 2]
Fm Fsus Fm
So I'm leaving on Wednesday morning
C# D# Fm
Trying to find a place where I can hear
Fm Fsus Fm
The wind and the birds and the sea on the rocks
C# D# Fm
And the open road is always near
D# G#
And if sometimes I tire of the quiet
A#m7 C (E7)
And I want to walk back up that hill
Fm C#
I'll just get on the road and I'll stick out my thumb
D# Fm
Cause I know for sure you'll be there still
[Chorus] (x2)
G# D# Fm
I remember that summer in Dublin
C# G#
And the Liffey, yes, it stank like hell
A#m Fm7
And the young people walking on Grafton Street
A#m D#
And everyone looking so well
G# D# Fm
I was singing a song I heard somewhere
C# G#
Called rock and roll never forgets
A#m Fm7
When my humming was smothered by the 46A
