G
I met my love, by the gas works wall
CG
Dreamed a dream, by the old canal
I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
DEm
Dirty old town, dirty old town
G
Clouds are drifting across the moon
CG
Cats are prowling on their beats
Springs a girl on the streets at night
DEm
dirty old town, dirty old town
Interlude: CCCCFFCCCCCCGGAmG
Heard a siren from the dock
CG
saw a train cut the night on fire
smelled the breeze on the smokey wind
DEm
dirty old town, dirty old town
G
I'm going to make me a big sharp ax
CG
Shining steel tempered in the fire
I'll chop you down like an old dead tree
DEm
dirty old town, dirty old town
G
I met my love, by the gas works wall
CG
Dreamed a dream, by the old canal
I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
DEm
Dirty old town, dirty old town
DEm
Dirty old town, dirty old town
