I met my [G] love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a [C] dream by the old [G] canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old [D] town, [D7] dirty old [Em] town
Clouds a [G] drifting across the moon
Cats a [C] prowling on their [G] beat
Spring’s a girl in the street at night
Dirty old [D] town, [D7] dirty old [Em] town
Hamonica : [G][C][G][Am][D7][G]
Heard a [G] siren from the docks
Saw a [C] train set the night on [G] fire
Smelled the spring on the smokey wind
Dirty old [D] town, [D7] dirty old [Em] town
I’m going to [G] make a good sharp axe
Shining [C] steel tempered in the [G] fire
Will chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old [D] town, [D7] dirty old [Em] town
I met my [G] love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a [C] dream by the old [G] canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old [D] town, [D7] dirty old [Em] town
Dirty old [D] town, [D7] dirty old [Em] town
