[Verse]
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 from the streets at night
D Em Dirty old town, dirty old town

[Verse]
G I heard a siren from the dock C G Saw a train set the night on fire
I smelled the spring on the smokey wind
D Em Dirty old town, dirty old town G I'm going to make me a big sharp axe 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
[Refrain]
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
