Dirty Old Town - The Pogues

            [Verse] C C C C -  F F C  C

 Dreamed a dream  - By the old canal

 I kissed my girl - By the factory wall)

 Across the moon                   Am Bb)

 Cats are prowling - On their beat

 Spring's a girl

 From the streets at night)

(I heard a siren      F F F F - C C Dm E7

 Me a big sharp axe

 Shining steel - Tempered in the fire

 I'll chop you down

 Like an old dead tree)
