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
I met my love,

by the gas works wall.
          F
Dreamed a dream,
             C
by the old canal.
F         C
Kissed my love,

by the factory gates.
          Dm
Dirty old town,
F          Am
dirty old town.


          C
Heard a siren,

in the night.
      F
Saw a train,
                 C
set the night on fire.
F         C
Smelt the spring,

in that smoky wind.
          Dm
Dirty old town,
F          Am
dirty old town.


               C
Cats are prowling,

on their beat.
           F
Clouds are drifting,
           C
across the moon.
F        C
Springs a girl,

in the street at night.
          Dm
Dirty old town,
F          Am
dirty old town.


             C
I'm going to make,

me a big sharp blade;
        F
Shining steel,
                C
tempered in the fire.
F            C
I'll cut you down,

like an old dead tree.
          Dm
Dirty old town,
F          Am
dirty old town.
