Am C Em
Am C Em

[Verse 1]
Em        G
I met my love By the gasworks wall
          C                G
Dreamed a dream By the old canal
          G           C       G
Kissed my girl By the factory wall
          Am     C
Dirty old town
          Em
Dirty old town

[Verse 2]
          G
I heard a siren Howlin' from the docks
      C                      G
Saw a train Set the night on fire
           G          C      G
I felt the cold Of a wintery win
          Am     C
Dirty old town
          Em
Dirty old town

[Verse 3]
            G
Dark clouds drifting All across the sky
           C                   G
Cats were prowling On down the street
             G              C       G
Black smoke rising From the chimney stacks
           Am     C
Dirty old town
                  Em
It's a dirty old town

[Verse 4]
              G
I'm going to make me A big sharp axe
          C                     G
A shining steel Tempered in the fire
                G           C       G
We'll chop you down Like an old oak tree
               Am    C
This dirty old town
           Em
Dirty old town

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
Em        G
I met my love By the gasworks wall
          C                G
Dreamed a dream By the old canal
          G           C       G
Kissed my girl By the factory wall
          Am     C
Dirty old town
