{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}The moon is shifting behind a cloud,Cats are crawling all along the beat,Springs a girl in the streets at night.Dirty old town, dirty old town.I heard a whistle coming from the docksAnd a train set the night on fire,Smelled the spring on a smoke-filled air.Dirty old town, dirty old town.I'm gonna get me a nice sharp axe,Shining steel tempered in a fire,Cut you down like an old dead tree,Dirty old town, dirty old town.^ ^ ^regards, EXTRA / \/ \/ \ NULLALudwig BAVARIAM \ /\ /\ / VITAv v v

Arrangement source for Dirty Old Town by Ewan Maccoll
{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
I met my [E]love by the gasworks door;
Dreamed a [A]dream by the old ca[E]nal.
Kissed my [C#m]boy by the factory [E]wall.
Dirty old [F#m]town, [B7] dirty old [C#m]town.
The moon is shifting behind a cloud,
Cats are crawling all along the beat,
Springs a girl in the streets at night.
Dirty old town, dirty old town.
I heard a whistle coming from the docks
And a train set the night on fire,
Smelled the spring on a smoke-filled air.
Dirty old town, dirty old town.
I'm gonna get me a nice sharp axe,
Shining steel tempered in a fire,
Cut you down like an old dead tree,
Dirty old town, dirty old town.
