Dirty old town

C 
          I met my love by the gasworks wall 
                    F                  C 
          dreamed a dream by the old canal 
                    C                   C 
          kissed a girl by the factory wall 
                    G               A 
          dirty old town, dirty old town 

                     C 
          Clouds are drifting across the moon 
                    F                  C 
          cats are prowling on their beat 
                    C                      C 
          springs a girl on the street at night 
                    G               A 
          dirty old town, dirty old town 

                    C 
          I heard a siren from the docks 
                  F                    C 
          saw a train set the night on fire 
                       C                    C 
          smelled the spring on the smokey wind 
                    G               A 
          dirty old town, dirty old town 

                     C 
          I'm gonna make me a big sharpe axe 
                    F                    C 
          shining steel tempered in the fire 
                 C                            C 
          I'll chop you down like a dead old tree 
                    G               A 
          dirty old town, dirty old town 

                  C 
          I met my love by the gasworks wall
