DIRTY OLD TOWN

The Pogues/The Dubliners


C => F => C
I met my love, by the gas works wall
F => G C => F => C

Dreamed a dream, by the old canal
=> C7
I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
Dm => Em Am => G
Dirty old town, dirty old town


Clouds are drifting on the street

Cats are prowling on their beats

Springs a girl on the streets at night

dirty old town, dirty old town


(to imitate the �siren� I'm playing a Bbm-on-C/-on-F-combination)

C => Bbm => C
I heard a siren from the docks
Bbm => F C => F => C
saw a train set the night on fire
=> C7
I smelled the spring on the smokey wind
Dm => Em Am => G
dirty old town, dirty old town


I'm going to make a big sharp axe

shining steel, tempered in the fire

I'll chop you down like an old dead tree

dirty old town, dirty old town


I met my love, by the gas yard wall

I dreamed a dream, by the old canal

I kissed my girl, by the factory wall

Dirty old town, dirty old town
