[Intro] D G D Bm Em A G D Bm Em A D A [Verse 1]
D               G               D
Tonight I dream about my Maiden City

        Bm                 Em               A
I'll go back to the days I spent there as a boy

     G                              D          Bm
I'll dream about the friends I left behind me

      Em         A            D      A
In my city Londonderry on the Foyle
[Verse 2]
        D                 G                D
Well my mother she writes to me here twice weekly

        Bm            Em               A
and she tells all the things are going on

        G                                D          Bm
and she tells me of the bombings and the shootings

      Em         A            D      A
In my city Londonderry on the Foyle
[Verse 3]
      D           G               D
But tonight I lie upon my bed I'm dreaming

     Bm              Em               A
I am dreaming of the friends I left behind

      G                                 D         Bm
and I dreamt about my sweetheart in the Fountain

      Em          A            D     A
In my city Londonderry on the Foyle
[Verse 4]
         D               G             D
But once more I'm coming home aboard a steamship

         Bm                  Em            A
On Lough Foyle once more I'm passing by Culmore

      G                                     D         Bm
and I see those old grey walls still firmly standing

               Em         A            D        A
there round my city Londonderry on the Foyle
[Verse 5]
      D             G                  D
I can see the old Cathedral it's still standing

        Bm           Em           A
and not far away the old memorial hall

      G                                 D       Bm
and I see the Crimson Banner it's still flying

        Em         A            D      A
Over my city Londonderry on the Foyle

        Em         A            D      A
Over my city Londonderry on the Foyle

        Em         A            D      A
Over my city Londonderry on the Foyle
