Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
I met my [G]love by the gasworks wall
Dreamed a [C]dream by the old ca[G]nal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old [D]town
[C]Dirty old [Em]town[G]

[Verse 2]
Clouds are [G]drifting across the moon
Cats are [C]prowling on their [G]beat
Spring's a girl from the streets at night
Dirty old [D]town
[C]Dirty old [Em]town[G]

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

[Verse 4]
I'm going to [G]make a good sharp axe
Shining [C]steel tempered in the [G]fire
I'll chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old [D]town
[C]Dirty old [Em]town[G]

[Verse 5]
I met my [G]love by the factory wall
Dreamed a [C]dream by the ca[G]nal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old [D]town
[C]Dirty old [Em]town
Dirty old [D]town
Dirty old [G]town
