I met my love, by the gas works wall
           F                 C
Dreamed a dream, by the old canal

I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
           G               Am
Dirty old town, dirty old town


            C
Clouds are drifting across the moon
          F                 C
Cats are prowling on their beats

Springs a girl on the streets at night
 G               Am
dirty old town, dirty old town

Interlude: F F F F  Bb Bb  F F F F F F  C C  Dm

         C
Heard a siren from the dock
      F                      C
saw a train cut the night on fire

smelled the breeze on the smokey wind
           G              Am
dirty old town, dirty old town


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

I'll chop you down like an old dead tree
          G               Am
dirty old town, dirty old town


         C
I met my love, by the gas works wall
          F                  C
Dreamed a dream, by the old canal

I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
           G               Am
Dirty old town, dirty old town
           G               Am
Dirty old town, dirty old town
