          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
