Dirty Old Town - The Pogues

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

(I met my love      F# F# F# F# - (C# C# D#m D#m)

 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                   D#m E)

 Cats are prowling - On their beat

 Spring's a girl

 From the streets at night)

                                 [Instru]

[Verse]               B B B B - E E B  B

(I heard a siren      B B B B - F# F# G#m Bb7

 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        D#m D#m Bbm C#

 Me a big sharp axe

 Shining steel - Tempered in the fire

 I'll chop you down

 Like an old dead tree)


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