[G]Clouds are drifting


Across the moon


Catch a prowler[C]


On the bea[G]t


Springs a girl


In the street at night


Dirty old t[D]own


Dirty told t[Em]own


[G]I heard a siren


A'coming from the dock


I saw a train[C]


I set the night on fi[G]re


Smelled the spring


And the smoke and wind


Dirty old to[D]wn


Diry old tow[Em]n


I'm gonna make me


A good sharp ax


Shining stee[C]l


Tempered in the f[G]ire


I'll chop you down


Like an old dead tree


Dirty old to[D]wn


Dirty old to[Em]wn


Dirty old t[D]own


Dirty old t[Em]own


Dirty old t[D]own


Dirty old t[Em]own
