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.
I met my Clove,
by the gas works wall.
Dreamed a Fdream,
by the old caCnal.
FKissed my Clove,
by the factory gates.
Dirty old Dmtown,
Fdirty old tAmown.
Heard a siCren,
in the night.
Saw a Ftrain,
set the night on Cfire.
FSmelt the Cspring,
in that smoky wind.
Dirty old Dmtown,
Fdirty old tAmown.
Cats are prowliCng,
on their beat.
Clouds are Fdrifting,
across the Cmoon.
FSprings aC girl,
in the street at night.
Dirty old Dmtown,
Fdirty old tAmown.
I'm going to Cmake,
me a big sharp blade;
Shining Fsteel,
tempered in the Cfire.
FI'll cut you Cdown,
like an old dead tree.
Dirty old Dmtown,
Fdirty old tAmown.
