Dirty Old Town chords
Ewan McColl 1949
I posted this as the slight difference in the chords from those
already posted is a little more folky (in my opinion).
Also the words are slightly different (they way I heard it)
Snozzleblots.
C majorC
I met my love,
by the gas works wall.

Dreamed a dream,

by the old canal.
FF C majorC
Kissed my love,
by the factory gates.
DmDm
Dirty old town,
FF A minorAm
dirty old town.
C majorC
Heard a siren,
in the night.
FF
Saw a train,

set the night on fire.

Smelt the spring,
in that smoky wind.

dirty old town.

Cats are prowling,
on their beat.

across the moon.

Springs a girl,
in the street at night.
DmDm
Dirty old town,
FF A minorAm
dirty old town.

I'm going to make,
me a big sharp blade;

Shining steel,

tempered in the fire.

I'll cut you down,
like an old dead tree.

Dirty old town,
FF A minorAm
dirty old town.
