The strum pattern is a sort of shuffle but you can be quite free with it. Listen to the song to get the best feel. Enjoy! (All chords are open NOT barred) Intro: G C G D Em Verse: G I met my love by the gasworks wall C G Dreamed a dream by the old canal I kissed my girl by the factory wall D Em Dirty old town, dirty old town G Clouds are drifting across the moon C G Cats are prowling on their beat Springs a girl from the streets at night D Em Dirty old town, dirty old town G I heard a siren from the docks C G Saw a train set the night on fire I smelled the spring on the smoky wind D Em Dirty old town, dirty old town Bridge: G C G D Em (There is a slight variation on the chords but I'm not sure what it is, any ideas would be appreciated) G I'm gonna make me a big sharp axe C G Shining steel tempered in the fire I'll chop you down like an old dead tree D Em Dirty old town, dirty old town (For the final verse just do a single down stroke on each of the chords) G I met my love by the gasworks wall C G Dreamed a dream by the old canal I kissed my girl by the factory wall D Em Dirty old town, dirty old town D Em Dirty old town, dirty old town
