C
I met my love by the gasworks wall
F C
dreamed a dream by the old canal
C C
kissed a girl by the factory wall
G Am
dirty old town, dirty old town
C
Clouds are drifting across the moon
F C
cats are prowling on their beat
C C
springs a girl on the street at night
G Am
dirty old town, dirty old town
C
I heard a siren from the docks
F C
saw a train set the night on fire
C C
smelled the spring on the smokey wind
G Am
dirty old town, dirty old town
C
I'm gonna make me a big sharpe axe
F C
shining steel tempered in the fire
C C
I'll chop you down like a dead old tree
G Am
dirty old town, dirty old town
C
I met my love by the gasworks wall
F C
dreamed a dream by the old canal
C C
kissed a girl by the factory wall
G Am
dirty old town, dirty old town
