G5
Bronx bound uptown, that's my line.
       E5
Don't look like much, but it's all mine.
     D5
The end of the road is all I know,
C5                                    C5
242nd street, I'm almost home.


      G5
The roar of the crowd from Gaelic Park
E5
underage guinness at the terminal bar
      D5
the lights on broadway never looked so fine
        C5                  D5                 
as they do underneath the one and nine


          E5
Well the din of the subway cars 
C5
sounds like a heavenly choir
          E5
and the shower of sparks they bring
C5                  D5
shine like angels' wings


         E5
and the writing on the concrete walls
         G5
is all I need
                    C5
to lead me to salvation
        D5               G5
underneath the one and nine


G5
jam packed nights at sam mcguire's
E5
that's where I first caught the fire 
    D5
I jumped on stage, sang dirty old town
    C5                        D5
it broke my heart when that joint closed down



          E5
Well the din of the subway cars 
C5
sounds like a heavenly choir
          E5
and the shower of sparks they bring
C5                  D5
shine like angels' wings


         E5
and the writing on the concrete walls
         G5
is all I need
                    C5
to lead me to salvation
        D5               G5
underneath the one and nine

*Not sure of the chords, if you know them , let me know* 
I met my love by the gas works wall
I dreamed a dream by the old canal
I Kissed my girl by the factory wall
It's a Dirty old town
It's a Dirty old town

        G5
its a world of troubles

I sure had some
         E5
I don't know where I'm going

but I know where I'm from
          D5
I'm from new york town, the very best part
          C5                         D5
with the guts and the grit and the love and the heart

    G(Hold)                      
so when my time has finally come
G5       Em(Hold)
buy me one last token for one last run
E5       D(Hold)
with a sweet slow song, and a bottle of wine
C5
spread my ashes neath the one and nine

G5 , E5 , D5 ,

C(hold)                         C5 , G5
242nd Street, I'm almost home
