[Verse]
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
[Verse]
G
Clouds are drifting across the moon
C G
Cats are prowling on their beat
Spring's a girl from the streets at night
D Em
Dirty old town, dirty old town
[Bridge]:
C F C G Am
[Verse]
G
I Heard a siren from the docks
C G
Saw a train set the night on fire
I Smelled the spring on the smoky wind
D Em
Dirty old town, dirty old town
[Verse]
G
I'm gonna make me a big sharp axe
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
[Verse]
G
I met my love by the gas works wall

Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
D Em
Dirty old town, dirty old town

Dirty old town, dirty old town
