[Verse]
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 beats Springs a girl from the streets at night
D Em Dirty old town, dirty old town

G I heard a siren from the dock
C G Saw a train set the night on fire I smelled the spring on the smokey wind
D Em Dirty old town, dirty old town
G I'm going to make me a big sharp axe
C G Shining steel tempered in the fire I'll chop you down like an old dead tree
D Em Dirty old town, dirty old town [Refrain]
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
