Costafine town (1974)    (video)

 

    C - F       - C - F

 

      C                            Am                               Dm

1. Dirty old hole in the side of the road for the man who cleans the street,

      F                                         G7                              C      - F - G

    open pub doors where the working class goes at night.

    C                                     Am                                     Dm

Written on walls where the cats never crawled for the glass along the top,

       F                               G7                             C      - Dm - F - G

    man I was born there, I’m gonna walk right back.

 

   C                                            - Em   

Costafine town, it’s a fine town,         I’m coming home,

Dm                      F                               G     - G7 

  I feel so lonely, I’ve been too long away.

   C                                             - Em

Costafine town, it’s a fine town,         I’m coming home,

Dm                         F                               G     - G7

  I wish I’d never made up my mind to stray.                   +  C

 

      C                              Am                                Dm

2. Nobody owns all the dirty old clothes that are lying in the lane,

        F                        G7                           C      - F - G 

    whistling loud, the four-thirty shift has gone.

      C                             Am                                Dm

    Little old man with a pole in his hand lighting lamps along the way,

      F                             G7                       C       - Dm - F - G

    hurry me back there, I wish I’d never gone.
