Dirty Old Town
The Pogues
[C]
I met my [C]love... by the gas works wall
Dreamed a [F]dream... by the old ca[C]nal
I kissed my [Am]girl... by the factory [C]wall
Dirty old [Dm]town... [G7]dirty old [Am]town
Clouds are [C]dri-i-ifting across the moon
Cats are [F]pro-o-owling on their [C]beat
Springs a [Am]girl... from the streets at [C]night
Dirty old [Dm] town... [G7]dirty old [Am]town
I heard a [C]siren... coming from the docks
Saw a [F]train... set the night on [C]fire
I smelled the [Am]spring... on the smoky [C]wind
Dirty old [Dm] town... [G7]dirty old [Am]town
I'm gonna [C]make me... a big sharp axe
Shining [F]steel... tempered in a [C]fire
I’ll chop you [Am]down... like an old dead [C]tree
Dirty old [Dm] town... [G7]dirty old [Am]town
I met my [C]love... by the gas works wall
Dreamed a [F]dream... by the old ca[C]nal
I kissed my [Am]girl... by the factory [C]wall
Dirty old [Dm] town... [G7]dirty old [Am]town
Dirty old [Dm] town... [G7]dirty old [Am]town
Dirty old [Dm] town... [G7]dirty old [Am]town
