Dirty Old Town chords
Ewan MacColl 1949 (as performed by The Dubliners, The Pogues)

G

         GI met my love, 
           
by the gas works wall. 
          CDreamed a dream, 
             Gby the old canal. 

I kissed my girl, 

by the factory wall. 
          DDirty old town, 
          Emdirty old town. 

               GThe clouds are drifting, 

across the moon. 
         CCats are prowling, 
         Gon their feet. 

Spring-s-a girl, 

from the streets at night. 
          DDirty old town, 
          Emdirty old town. 

G C G D Em

          GI heard a siren, 

from the docks. 
      CSaw a train, 
                 Gset the night on fire. 

Smelled the spring, 

in that smoky wind. 
          DDirty old town, 
          Emdirty old town. 


             GI'm going to make, 

me a good sharp axe; 
        CShining steel, 
                Gtempered in the fire. 

I'll chop you down, 

like an old dead tree. 
          DDirty old town, 
          Emdirty old town. 

         GI met my love, 

by the gas works wall. 
          CDreamed a dream, 
             Gby the old canal. 

I kissed my girl, 

by the factory wall. 
          DDirty old town, 
          Emdirty old town. 

          DDirty old town, 
          Emdirty old town.
