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

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