Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I met [D]my love by the gas
works [Asus4]wall[D]
Dreamed a [G]dream by the old [D]canal
Kissed a girl by the factory [A]wall[D]
Dirty old [A]town, dirty old [Bm]town

[Verse 2]
Clouds [D]adrifting across the moon
Cats [G]a prowling on [D]their beat
Spring's a girl in the street at night
Dirty old [A]town, dirty old [Bm]town
I [A]heard a siren

[Verse 3]
[D]from the docks
Saw a [G]train set the night on [D]fire
Smelled the spring on the smoky wind
Dirty old [A]town, dirty old [Bm]town[G]
[D]

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][A][D][A][D][A][Bm]

[Verse 4]
I'm going to [D]make me a good sharp axe
Shin[A]ing [G]steel tempered in [D]the fire
I'll chop you down like an
old dead [G]tree[D]
Dirty old [A]town, dirty old [Bm]town
Dirty old [A]town, dirty old [Bm]town

[Verse 5]
[A]I met m[D]y love by the
gas [D]works [A]wall
Dreamed a [A]dream by the old canal
Kissed a girl by the factory [A]wall
[A]Dirty old town, dirty [Bm]old town
[Bm]
