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.
