Dirty Old Town Pogues Cover W/ Lyrics and chords

This is a song written in 1946 by Ewan MacColl. I has been covered by the Dubliners with Luke Kelly singing, and the Pogues. This song refers to the town,Salford, Manchester. Excuse the chords..somehow they moved. LOL, but I think you get the idea!

VERSE 1: G
I met my love by the gas works wall C G
Dreamed a dream by the old canal

I Kissed my girl by the factory wall D Em
Dirty old town, dirty old town


VERSE 2: G
Clouds are drifting across the moon C G
Cats are prowling on their beat

Spring's a girl from the streets at night D Em
Dirty old town, dirty old town

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE 3: G
I Heard a siren from the docks C G
Saw a train set the night on fire

I Smelled the spring on the smoky wind D Em
Dirty old town, dirty old town


VERSE 4: G




I'm gonna make me a big sharp axe C G
Shining steel tempered in the fire

I'll chop you down like an old dead tree D Em
Dirty old town, dirty old town

VERSE 5: G




I met my love by the gas works wall C G
Dreamed a dream by the old canal

I kissed my girl by the factory wall D Em
Dirty old town, dirty old town D Em
Dirty old town, dirty old town
