G
I met my love, by the gas works wall
CG
Dreamed a dream, by the old canal
I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
DEm
Dirty old town, dirty old town
G
Clouds are drifting across the moon
CG
Cats are prowling on their beats
Springs a girl on the streets at night
DEm
dirty old town, dirty old town
Interlude: CCCCFFCCCCCCGGAmG
Heard a siren from the dock
CG
saw a train cut the night on fire
smelled the breeze on the smokey wind
DEm
dirty old town, dirty old town
G
I'm going to make me a big sharp ax
CG
Shining steel tempered in the fire
I'll chop you down like an old dead tree
DEm
dirty old town, dirty old town
G
I met my love, by the gas works wall
CG
Dreamed a dream, by the old canal
I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
DEm
Dirty old town, dirty old town
DEm
Dirty old town, dirty old town

The Pogues is a Celtic punk band from London, formed in 1982 and fronted by Shane MacGowan. The band reached international prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. MacGowan left the band in 1991 due to drinking problems but the band continued first with Joe Strummer and then with Spider Stacy on vocals before breaking up in 1996. The band, including MacGowan, reformed in 2001 and has been playing regularly ever since. While the band has not released an album since 1996
Thumb Position Check. For bar chords, place the thumb lower on the neck for leverage. For open chords, let it sit higher. Small thumb adjustments reduce hand strain and improve clarity immediately.
