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

Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
B C#m
Dirty old town, dirty old town

Dirty old town, dirty old town
