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

I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
           Bb               Cm
Dirty old town, dirty old town


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

Springs a girl on the streets at night
 Bb               Cm
dirty old town, dirty old town

Interlude: Ab Ab Ab Ab  Db Db  Ab Ab Ab Ab Ab Ab  Eb Eb  Fm

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

smelled the breeze on the smokey wind
           Bb              Cm
dirty old town, dirty old town


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

I'll chop you down like an old dead tree
          Bb               Cm
dirty old town, dirty old town


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

I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
           Bb               Cm
Dirty old town, dirty old town
           Bb               Cm
Dirty old town, dirty old town
