The Pogues - Dirty Old Town

(Shuffle feel, very open and loose)


G
I met my love by the gas works wall
           C                 G
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed a girl by the factory wall
           D               Em
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

         G
Clouds a drifting across the moon
      C                      G
Cats a prowling on their beat
Spring's a girl in the street at night
           D               Em
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

Heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
Smelled the spring on the smokey wind
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

I'm going to make a good sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
Will chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
