I met my l^Gove, by the gas works wall Dreamed a d^Cream, by the old c^Ganal

I kissed my girl, by the factory wall

Dirty old t^Down, dirty old t^Emown Clouds are d^Grifting across the moon Cats are p^Crowling on their b^Geats

Springs a girl from the streets at night

Dirty old ^Dtown, dirty old ^Emtown

[Bridge] C C C C F F C C C C C C G G Am [Verse]

I heard a^G siren from the dock Saw a ^Ctrain set the night on ^Gfire

I smelled the spring on the smokey wind

Dirty old t^Down, dirty old ^Emtown I'm going to ^Gmake me a big sharp axe Shining s^Cteel tempered in the ^Gfire

I'll chop you down like an old dead tree

Dirty old ^Dtown, dirty old ^Emtown

[Refrain]

I met my ^Glove, by the gas works wall Dreamed a ^Cdream, by the old c^Ganal

I kissed my girl, by the factory wall

Dirty old t^Down, dirty old t^Emown Dirty old t^Down, dirty old t^Emown

Pogues - Dirty old town
