[Verse]
Am G F G
The pink crucifix with the ivory Jesus I wanted
Am G F G
The man with the blood on his hands as I ran from the river
Am G F G
Kissing my cousin, before they took her to the graveyard
Am G F G
Trembling at night from the violence I heard from my bedroom
[Chorus]
C G Dm
These are my memories
C G Dm
These are my memories, coming home

Am G F G
Called up at school `cause my hand wasn`t there to say "present"
Am G/A F G
Running the gauntlet outside the Club Rado at dawn
Am G F G
Rory and me without a spare string between us
Am G F G
Catching the last bus halfway through "I`m so glad"
[Chorus 2]
C G Dm
These are my memories
C G Dm
These are my memories, coming home
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Am G F G
Philip and me and "the brush" riding round in a transit
Am G F G
The Bailey, the Strangley`s, the smoke and the speed and the acid
Am G F G
I lost my virginity to a Tipperary woman
Am G F G
A heart that was broken, but it wasn`t the first or the last time
[Chorus 3]
C G Dm
These are my memories
C G Dm
These are my memories, coming home

[Verse 4]
Am G F G
Under the wings of the man they called Green, I found freedom
Am G F G
Three children, one wife, a twist of the knife and a scandal
Am G F G
Divorce, separation, some kind of salvation came lately
Am G F G
So many have gone, but I know it`s just business as usual
[Chorus 4]
C G Dm
These are my memories
C G Dm
These are my memories
C G Dm
These are my memories

These are my memories

These memories keep coming back
Am G F G
These memories keep coming back
Am G F G
All those years ago
Am G F G
All those years ago
