D G D A7 Bm G I met my love, by the gas yard wallC G Dreamed a dream, by the old canal I kissed my girl, by the factory wallD Em Dirty old town, dirty old town Clouds are drifting across the moon Cats are prowling on their beat Spring's a girl in the street at night Dirty old town, dirty old townD G D A7 Bm I heard a siren from the dock Saw a train set the night on fire I smelled the spring on the smokey wind Dirty old town, dirty old town I'm going to make a big sharp axe Shining steel tempered in the fire I'll chop you down like an old dead tree Dirty old town, dirty old town I met my love, by the gas yard wall Dreamed a dream, by the old canal I kissed my girl, by the factory wall Dirty old town, dirty old townD Em Dirty old town, dirty old town
