I met my l[G]ove, by the gas works wall
Dreamed a d[C]ream, by the old c[G]anal
I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
Dirty old t[D]own, dirty old t[Em]own
Clouds are d[G]rifting across the moon
Cats are p[C]rowling on their b[G]eats
Springs a girl on the streets at night
d[D]irty old town, d[Em]irty old town
Bridge played over:
[C] [C] [C] [C] [F] [F] [C] [C] [C] [C] [C] [C] [G] [G] [Am]
Heard a s[G]iren from the dock
saw a [C]train cut the night on [G]fire
smelled the breeze on the smokey wind
dirty old t[D]own, dirty old [Em]town
I'm going to [G]make me a big sharp ax
Shining s[C]teel tempered in the [G]fire
I'll chop you down like an old dead tree
dirty old [D]town, dirty old [Em]town
I met my [G]love, by the gas works wall
Dreamed a [C]dream, by the old c[G]anal
I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
Dirty old t[D]own, dirty old t[Em]own
Dirty old t[D]own, dirty old t[Em]own
