"Dirty Old Town" - as played by The Dubliners [Verse 1]

Met my ^Glove, by the gas works wall Dreamed a ^Cdream, by the old ^Gcanal

I kissed my girl, by the factory wall

Dirty old ^Dtown, dirty old ^Emtown ^G

[Verse 2]

Clouds are ^Gdrifting across the moon Cats are ^Cprowling on their ^Gbeat

Spring’s a girl from the streets at night

Dirty old ^Dtown, dirty old ^Emtown ^G

[Verse 3]

I heard a ^Gsiren from the docks Saw a ^Ctrain set the night on ^Gfire

Smelled the spring on the smoky wind

Dirty old t^Down, dirty old ^Emtown ^G

[Verse 4]

I'm going to ^Gmake a big sharp axe Shining s^Cteel tempered in the ^Gfire

I'll cut you down like an old dead tree

Dirty old ^Dtown, dirty old ^Emtown ^G

[Verse 5]

Met my ^Glove, by the gas works wall Dreamed a ^Cdream, by the old ^Gcanal

I kissed my girl, by the factory wall

Dirty old ^Dtown, dirty old ^Emtown Dirty old ^Dtown, dirty old ^Gtown
