     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

      G
Clouds are drifting across the moon
     C         G
Cats are prowling on their beats

Springs a girl on the streets at night
 D        Em
dirty old town, dirty old town

Bridge played over:
C C C C F F C C C C C C G G Am

     G
Heard a siren from the dock
   C           G
saw a train cut the night on fire

smelled the breeze on the smokey wind
      D       Em
dirty old town, dirty old town


       G
I'm going to make me a big sharp ax
     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


     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
      D        Em
Dirty old town, dirty old town
