I met my love by the gasworks croft [C] Dreamed that dream [G] by the old canal
Kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old [D]
town, [C] dirty [Em] old town
[G]
Clouds are drifting across the moon Cats [C] are prowling on [G] their beat
Springs agair from the streets at night Dirty old town, dirty [Em] old town
[G] I heard a siren from the dogs Saw [C] a train [G] set the night on fire
Smelled the spring on the smoky wind Dirty old [D] town, [C] [Em] dirty old town
[G]
I'm going to make a good sharp [C] Shining steel [G] tampered in the fire
I'll chop you down like an old dead tree Dirty old [D] town, [Em] dirty old town
[G] I met my love by the factory wall Dreamed [C] that dream [G] by the old canal
Kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town, dirty [Em] old town
[G] [D] [G]
Kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old [D]
town, [C] dirty [Em] old town
[G]
Clouds are drifting across the moon Cats [C] are prowling on [G] their beat
Springs agair from the streets at night Dirty old town, dirty [Em] old town
[G] I heard a siren from the dogs Saw [C] a train [G] set the night on fire
Smelled the spring on the smoky wind Dirty old [D] town, [C] [Em] dirty old town

I'm going to make a good sharp [C] Shining steel [G] tampered in the fire
I'll chop you down like an old dead tree Dirty old [D] town, [Em] dirty old town
[G] I met my love by the factory wall Dreamed [C] that dream [G] by the old canal
Kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town, dirty [Em] old town
