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# Fm
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# Fm
Dirty old town, dirty old town
C# F# C# G# A#m
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# Fm
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# Fm
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# Fm
Dirty old town, dirty old town
D# Fm
Dirty old town, dirty old town
