Chords with lyrics
I'm sure all the lyrics and chords are correct, if not apologies, this is my first tab.
The strum pattern is a sort of shuffle but you can be quite free with it.
Listen to the song to get the best feel.
Enjoy!
(All chords are open NOT barred)

Verse:
G+G
I met my love by the gasworks wall
C majorC G+G
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall

Dirty old town, dirty old town

Cats are prowling on their beat
Springs a girl from the streets at night
D MajorD E minorEm
Dirty old town, dirty old town

I heard a siren from the docks
C majorC G+G
Saw a train set the night on fire
I smelled the spring on the smoky wind

Dirty old town, dirty old town

I'm gonna make me a big sharp axe

Shining steel tempered in the fire
I'll chop you down like an old dead tree
