{t:Dirty Old Town}
{artist:Ewan McColl}

I met my l[D]ove, by the gas yard wall
Dreamed a d[G]ream, by the old can[D]al
I [G]kissed my [D]girl, by the factory wall
Dirty old t[A]own, dirty old t[Bm]own


Clouds are [D]drifting all across the moon
Cats are p[G]rowling on their [D]beat
And [G]spring's a [D]girl in the street at night
Dirty old [A]town dirty old [Bm]town


I heard a [D]siren from the dock
Saw a [G]train cut the night on [D]fire
I [G]smelled the [D]breeze on the smoky wind
Dirty old [A]town, dirty old [Bm]town

I'm going to [D]make a good sharp axe
shining s[G]teel tempered in the [D]fire
I'll [G]chop you [D]down like an old dead tree
dirty old [A]town, dirty old [Bm]town



I met my [D]love, by the gas yard wall
Dreamed a [G]dream, by the old canal
I kissed my [D]girl, by the factory wall
Dirty old t[A]own, dirty old t[Bm]own
Dirty old t[A]own, dirty old t[Bm]own
