;Dirty Old Town

.          D
 I met my love, by the gas yard wall
.           G                   D
 Dreamed a dream, by the old canal
.  G         D
 I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
.           A               Bm
 Dirty old town, dirty old town
 
 
.           D
 Clouds are drifting all across the moon
.          G                D
 Cats are prowling on their beat
.    G          D    
 And spring's a girl in the street at night
.          A              Bm
 Dirty old town dirty old town
 
 
.          D
 I heard a siren from the dock
.      G                      D
 Saw a train cut the night on fire
.  G           D
 I smelled the breeze on the smoky wind
.          A               Bm
 Dirty old town, dirty old town

.             D
 I'm going to make a good sharp axe
.         G                    D
 shining steel tempered in the fire
.     G        D
 I'll chop you down like an old dead tree
.          A               Bm
 dirty old town, dirty old town
