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

I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
           C               Dm
Dirty old town, dirty old town


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

Springs a girl on the streets at night
 C               Dm
dirty old town, dirty old town

Interlude: Bb Bb Bb Bb  Eb Eb  Bb Bb Bb Bb Bb Bb  F F  Gm

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

smelled the breeze on the smokey wind
           C              Dm
dirty old town, dirty old town


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

I'll chop you down like an old dead tree
          C               Dm
dirty old town, dirty old town


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

I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
           C               Dm
Dirty old town, dirty old town
           C               Dm
Dirty old town, dirty old town
