I met my love, by the gas works wall. Dreamed a dream, by the old canal
G                                                 D               Em
I kissed my girl, by the factory wall. Dirty old town, dirty old town

            G                                  C                 G
Clouds are drifting across the moon. Cats are prowling on their beats
G                                                   D               Em
Springs a girl from the streets at night. Dirty old town, dirty old town

         G                           C                      G
I heard a siren from the dock. Saw a train set the night on fire
G                                                  D              Em
I smelled the spring on the smokey wind. Dirty old town, dirty old town


             G                                 C                    G
I'm going to make me a big sharp axe. Shining steel tempered in the fire
G                                                   D               Em
I'll chop you down like an old dead tree. Dirty old town, dirty old town
 
[Quietly...]

I met my love, by the gas works wall. Dreamed a dream, by the old canal
G                                                 D               Em
I kissed my girl, by the factory wall. Dirty old town, dirty old town


           D               Em
Dirty old town, dirty old town
