Number 3 of 4 written and recorded in a 2 hour slot today. This one came from a visit to Edinburgh, a week or so ago. I wrote the chorus line and melody whilst walking around the town.
lyrics
Old Town Capo 3rd
C G/B
Have you visited the
Am
Old town where the
F
Flights of
Am
Stairs take you
F
Back in
G
Time
Have you visited the Old Town
where the Grey clouds hang
And the sun dont shine
C G/B
The dirty brown walls
Am F
of the streets and houses
C G
hide the story well
Have you visited the old town
Where the piper plays
his sad lament
Have visited the old town
Where the whiskey flows
And the money spent
Am F C
But theres things you don't see
Am F G
And there’s things you don't want to see
