Song: Old town
Written and performed by: Phil Lynott
Track on: The Philip Lynott Album

Transcribed by Jose Kooyman (koolus@xs4all.nl)

This song by Thin Lizzy's frontman Phil Lynott is from his first solo
album. Although the song consists mainly of keyboards, drums and bass
guitar, it sounds very well on just an acoustic guitar.
These are the chords (and two little riffs) I use:

C: x-3-2-0-1-0----------------------------------------------------|
Cmaj7: x-3-2-0-0-0------------------------------------------------|
Am7: x-0-2-0-1-0 (sometimes during the verse I play: x-0-2-0-1-3)-|
Am7/G: 3-0-2-0-1-0------------------------------------------------|
F: 1-3-3-2-1-1----------------------------------------------------|
Dm: x-x-0-2-3-1---------------------------------------------------|
G7: 3-2-0-0-0-1---------------------------------------------------|
Am: x-0-2-2-1-0---------------------------------------------------|
E: 0-2-2-1-0-0----------------------------------------------------|
Am2: x-0-2-2-0-0--------------------------------------------------|
X: 0-3-3-2-0-0----------------------------------------------------| (I don't know the name of this chord)

riff 1:
e-|-----0-|
b-|-1-3---|

a-|-------|

riff 2:
e-|---0-4-5-|
