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