Dirty Old Town - The Pogues

            [Verse] F F F F -  Bb Bb F  F

(I met my love      F F F F - (C C Dm Dm)

 By the gas works wall

 Dreamed a dream  - By the old canal

 I kissed my girl - By the factory wall)

(Dirty old town   - Dirty old town x1)


(Clouds are drifting      [Verse] (C  C

 Across the moon                   Dm D#)

 Cats are prowling - On their beat

 Spring's a girl

 From the streets at night)

[Verse]               Bb Bb Bb Bb - D# D# Bb  Bb

(I heard a siren      Bb Bb Bb Bb - F F Gm A7

 From the docks

 Saw a train - Set the night on fire

 I smelled the spring

 On the smoky wind)    [Intro] C  C  C  C

                               F  F  C  C

[Verse] (I'm gonna make        Dm Dm Am C

 Me a big sharp axe

 Shining steel - Tempered in the fire

 I'll chop you down

 Like an old dead tree)
