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

G

         G
I met my love, 
           
by the gas works wall. 
          C
Dreamed a dream, 
             G
by the old canal. 

I kissed my girl, 

by the factory wall. 
          D
Dirty old town, 
          Em
dirty old town. 

               G
The clouds are drifting, 

across the moon. 
         C
Cats are prowling, 
         G
on their feet. 

Spring-s a girl, 

from the streets at night. 
          D
Dirty old town, 
          Em
dirty old town. 

G C G D Em

          G
I heard a siren, 

from the docks. 
      C
Saw a train, 
                 G
set the night on fire. 

Smelled the spring, 

in that smoky wind. 
          D
Dirty old town, 
          Em
dirty old town. 


             G
I'm going to make, 

me a good sharp axe; 
        C
Shining steel, 
                G
tempered in the fire. 

I'll chop you down, 

like an old dead tree. 
          D
Dirty old town, 
          Em
dirty old town. 

         G
I met my love, 

by the gas works wall. 
          C
Dreamed a dream, 
             G
by the old canal. 

I kissed my girl, 

by the factory wall. 
          D
Dirty old town, 
          Em
dirty old town. 

          D
Dirty old town, 
          Em
dirty old town.
