          Bb
I met my love, by the gas works wall
           Eb                 Bb
Dreamed a dream, by the old canal

I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
           F               Gm
Dirty old town, dirty old town


            Bb
Clouds are drifting across the moon
          Eb                 Bb
Cats are prowling on their beats

Springs a girl on the streets at night
 F               Gm
dirty old town, dirty old town

Interlude: Eb Eb Eb Eb  Ab Ab  Eb Eb Eb Eb Eb Eb  Bb Bb  Cm

         Bb
Heard a siren from the dock
      Eb                      Bb
saw a train cut the night on fire

smelled the breeze on the smokey wind
           F              Gm
dirty old town, dirty old town


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

I'll chop you down like an old dead tree
          F               Gm
dirty old town, dirty old town


         Bb
I met my love, by the gas works wall
          Eb                  Bb
Dreamed a dream, by the old canal

I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
           F               Gm
Dirty old town, dirty old town
           F               Gm
Dirty old town, dirty old town
