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 beat Springʼs a girl from the streets at night D Em Dirty old town, dirty old town C F C G Am G I Heard a siren from the docks C G Saw a train set the night on fire I Smelled the spring on the smoky wind D Em Dirty old town, dirty old town G Iʼm gonna make me a big sharp axe C G Shining steel tempered in the fire Iʼll chop you down like an old dead tree D Em Dirty old town, dirty old town 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
