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

I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
D Em
Dirty old town, dirty old town

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

Springs a girl on the streets at night
D Em
dirty old town, dirty old town

Bridge played over:
C C C C F F C C C C C C G G Am

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

smelled the breeze on the smokey wind
D Em
dirty old town, dirty old town


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

I'll chop you down like an old dead tree
D Em
dirty old town, dirty old town


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

I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
D Em
Dirty old town, dirty old town
D Em
Dirty old town, dirty old town
