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.

by the gas works wall.

Kissed my love,
by the factory gates.

on their beat.

across the moon.

I'm going to make,
me a big sharp blade;

Shining steel,

tempered in the fire.

I'll cut you down,
like an old dead tree.

Dirty old town,
F Am
dirty old town.
