Dirty Old Town - The Pogues

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

(I met my love      C# C# C# C# - (G# G# Bbm Bbm)

 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] (G#  G#

 Across the moon                   Bbm B)

 Cats are prowling - On their beat

 Spring's a girl

 From the streets at night)

                                 [Instru]

[Verse]               F# F# F# F# - B B F#  F#

(I heard a siren      F# F# F# F# - C# C# D#m F7

 From the docks

 Saw a train - Set the night on fire

 I smelled the spring

 On the smoky wind)    [Intro] G#  G#  G#  G#

                               C#  C#  G#  G#

[Verse] (I'm gonna make        Bbm Bbm Fm G#

 Me a big sharp axe

 Shining steel - Tempered in the fire

 I'll chop you down

 Like an old dead tree)


[Verse] (D#m-X X Bbm-X X-Bbm/D#m G# Bbm-X) (x2)
