Dirty Old Town

	  		
verse 1 
       G 
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     G 
Dirty old town, dirty old town 


verse 2 
           G 
Clouds are drifting across the moon 
         C                 G 
Cats are prowling on their beat 
            
Spring’s a girl from the streets at night 
          D               Em     G 
Dirty old town, dirty old town 


verse 3 
          G 
I heard a siren from the docks 
      C                      G 
Saw a train set the night on fire 
             
Smelled the spring on the smoky wind 
           D              Em     G 
Dirty old town, dirty old town 


verse 4 
             G 
I'm going to make a big sharp axe 
         C                    G 
Shining steel tempered in the fire 
              
I'll cut you down like an old dead tree 
          D               Em     G 
Dirty old town, dirty old town 


verse 5 
       G 
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               G 
Dirty old town, dirty old town
