Verse Dm Dsus Dm
Take me away from the city
A# C Dm
Lead me to where I can be on my own
Dm Dsus Dm
I wanted to see you but now that I have
A# C Dm
I just want to be left alone
C F
I'll always remember your kind words
Gm7 A (E7)
And I'll still remember your name
Dm A#
But I've seen you changing and turning
C Dm
And I know that things won't be the same
[Pre-Chorus]
C A# F C
[Chorus]
F C Dm
I remember that summer in Dublin
A# F
And the Liffey, yes, it stank like hell
Gm Dm7
And the young people walking on Grafton Street
Gm C
And everyone looking so well
F C Dm
I was singing a song I heard somewhere
A# F
Called rock and roll never forgets
Gm Dm7
When my humming was smothered by the 46A
Gm C
And the scream of the low flying jets
F C Dm
So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire
A# F
Stopping off to pick up my guitar
Gm Dm7
When a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich
A# C Dm
I was glad we weren't going to far
[Verse 2]
Dm Dsus Dm
So I'm leaving on Wednesday morning
A# C Dm
Trying to find a place where I can hear
Dm Dsus Dm
The wind and the birds and the sea on the rocks
A# C Dm
And the open road is always near
C F
And if sometimes I tire of the quiet
Gm7 A (E7)
And I want to walk back up that hill
Dm A#
I'll just get on the road and I'll stick out my thumb
C Dm
Cause I know for sure you'll be there still
[Chorus] (x2)
F C Dm
I remember that summer in Dublin
A# F
And the Liffey, yes, it stank like hell

And everyone looking so well

Called rock and roll never forgets
