I met [C]my love, by the gas works wall
Dreamed a [F]dream, by the old [C]canal
I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
{soc}
Dirty old [G]town, dirty old [Am]town
{eoc}
Clouds are [C]drifting across the moon
Cats are [F]prowling on their [C]beats
Springs a girl on the streets at night
{soc}
Dirty old [G]town, dirty old [Am]town
{eoc}
Heard a [C]siren from the dock
saw a [F]train cut the night on [C]fire
smelled the breeze on the smokey wind
{soc}
Dirty old [G]town, dirty old [Am]town
{eoc}
{column_break}
I’m going [C]to make me a big sharp axe
Shining [F]steel tempered in the [C]fire
I’ll chop you down like an old dead tree
{soc}
Dirty old [G]town, dirty old [Am]town
{eoc}
I met [C]my love, by the gas works wall
Dreamed a [F]dream, by the old [C]canal
I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
{soc}
Dirty old [G]town, dirty old [Am]town
Dirty old [G]town, dirty old [Am]town
{eoc}
