          Ab
I met my love, by the gas works wall
           Db                 Ab
Dreamed a dream, by the old canal

I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
           Eb               Fm
Dirty old town, dirty old town


            Ab
Clouds are drifting across the moon
          Db                 Ab
Cats are prowling on their beats

Springs a girl on the streets at night
 Eb               Fm
dirty old town, dirty old town

Interlude: Db Db Db Db  Gb Gb  Db Db Db Db Db Db  Ab Ab  Bbm

         Ab
Heard a siren from the dock
      Db                      Ab
saw a train cut the night on fire

smelled the breeze on the smokey wind
           Eb              Fm
dirty old town, dirty old town


             Ab
I'm going to make me a big sharp ax
         Db                    Ab
Shining steel tempered in the fire

I'll chop you down like an old dead tree
          Eb               Fm
dirty old town, dirty old town


         Ab
I met my love, by the gas works wall
          Db                  Ab
Dreamed a dream, by the old canal

I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
           Eb               Fm
Dirty old town, dirty old town
           Eb               Fm
Dirty old town, dirty old town
