I met my love by the gas yard wall
[B] Dreamed [A] a dream by the [E] old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
[B] Dirty old town, dirty [C#m] old town
[E] Clouds are drifting across the road
As [A] I'm prowling on [E] their beams
Springs of gallows to the streets at night
Dirty [B] old town, dirty [C#m] old town
I [E] heard a sigh, he went from the door
Saw [A] a train, set the night [E] on fire
I smelt the spring through the smokey window
Dirty [B] old town, dirty [C#m] old town
I'm [E] going to make a picture of that
[A] Shining steel, tempered in [E] the fire
Chop you down like an old dead sea
Dirty [B] old town, dirty [C#m] old town
I met [E]
[A]
[E] my
[B]
[C#m]
[E] love by the gas yard wall
[A] Dreamed a dream by the [E] old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town, dirty [C#m] old town
Dirty [B] old town, dirty old [E] town
