I met my love
Met my love
By the gasworks wall
By the gasworks wall
Dreamed a dream
Dreamed a dream
By the old canal
By the old canal
I kissed my girl
I kissed my girl
By the factory wall
By the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
G
Clouds are drifting
Across the moon
C
Catch a prowler
G
On the beat
Springs a girl
In the street at night
D
Dirty old town
Em
Dirty told town
G
I heard a siren
A'coming from the dock
C
I saw a train
G
I set the night on fire
Smelled the spring
And the smoke and wind
D
Dirty old town
Em
Diry old town
G
I'm gonna make me
A good sharp ax
C
Shining steel
G
Tempered in the fire
I'll chop you down
Like an old dead tree
D
Dirty old town
Em
Dirty old town
D
Dirty old town
Em
Dirty old town
D
Dirty old town
Em
Dirty old town
