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.
