Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse

 I met my love by the gasworks wall

 Dreamed a dream by the old canal

I kissed my girl by the factory wall

 Dirty old town, dirty old town

 Clouds are drifting across the moon

 Cats are prowling on their beat

Springs a girl from the streets at night

 Dirty old town, dirty old town

 I heard a siren from the docks

 Saw a train set the night on fire

I smelled the spring on the smoky wind

 Dirty old town, dirty old town

Bridge

G C G D Em (There is a slight variation on the chords but I'm not sure

what it is, any ideas would be appreciated)

 I'm gonna make me a big sharp axe

 Shining steel tempered in the fire

I'll chop you down like an old dead tree

 Dirty old town, dirty old town

(For the final verse just do a single down stroke on each of the chords)

 I met my love by the gasworks wall

 Dreamed a dream by the old canal

I kissed my girl by the factory wall

 Dirty old town, dirty old town

 Dirty old town, dirty old town
