Intro: [D] [G] [D] [Em7] [Bm]

I met my [G] love by the gas works wall

Dreamed a [C] dream by the old ca[G]nal

I kissed my girl by the factory wall

Dirty old [D] town dirty old [Em7] town

Clouds are [G] drifting across the moon

Cats are [C] prowling on their [G] beat

Spring's a girl from the streets at night

Dirty old [D] town dirty old [Em7] town

Instrumental: [C] [F] [C] [G] [Am]

I heard a [G] siren from the docks

Saw a [C] train set the night on [G] fire

I smelled the spring on the smoky wind

Dirty old [D] town dirty old [Em7] town

I'm gonna [G] make me a big sharp axe

Shining [C] steel tempered in the [G] fire

I'll chop you down like an old dead tree

Dirty old [D] town dirty old [Em7] town

I met my [G] love by the gas works wall

Dreamed a [C] dream by the old ca[G]nal

I kissed my girl by the factory wall

Dirty old [Am] town……….dirty old [Em7] town

Dirty old [D] town dirty old [Em7] town
