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