[Verse 1]
       D/F#                   G                        Bm                      G
I will always go back to the side of the bay where the nights never seemed as long as the day
          D/F#                 G
Where The Dog Collar Army we trembled before
       Bm                   G
Their spires don't look so tall any more

[Verse 2]
D/F#
Dad was always driving
 G
Top of the road
 Bm                         G
Mams in the doorway still thanking the lord
D/F#                        G
Greenbirds took 'em to the land of the free
 Bm                        G
When they were gone it was all up to me


[Instrumental]
|Bm C#m D G |Bm  A |


[Chorus]
D/F#                      G
These city lights don't shine like you say
      Bm                      G
The green green grass is all turning to grey
    D/F#                       G
You made this boy golden then turned him to stone
     Bm                    G                          D/F#  G
But this is my home, you think I don't remember but I do
  Bm
I do
      A                          D/F#  G
You think I don't remember but I do
       Bm  A
Yeah I do


[Verse 3]
D/F#                      G
No-one saw it coming till it was too late
    Bm                          G
But it was the young who would carry the weight
      D/F#                       G
Shook hands with the mighty for better or worse
 Bm                    G
Sometimes a blessing, sometimes a curse


[Instrumental]
|Bm C#m D G |Bm  A |


[Chorus]
D/F#                      G
These city lights don't shine like you say
      Bm                      G
The green green grass is all turning to grey
    D/F#                       G
You made this boy golden then turned him to stone
     Bm                    G                          D/F#  G
But this is my home, you think I don't remember but I do
  Bm
I do
      A                          D/F#  G
You think I don't remember but I do
       Bm  A
Yeah I do


[Bridge]
D/F#
Here's to my journey
    G
I know who I am
    Bm                         G
As much as we fought that was never the plan
D/F#                   G
I'm not the first and won't be the last
       Bm                         G
To go back to the Grove and we're always a class


[Chorus]
N.C.                             D/F#  G
You think I don't remember but I do
      Bm
But I do
      A                          D/F#  G
You think I don't remember but I do
      Bm
But I do
      A                   D/F#
You think I don't remember
      G                          Bm
You think I don't remember but I do
      A                          D/F#  G
You think I don't remember but I do
      G                          Bm   A
You think I don't remember but I do


[Outro]

       D/F#                   G
I will always go back to the side of the bay
          Bm                      G
Where the nights never seemed as long as the day
