I met my love by the gas yard wall
[B] Dreamed [A] a dream by the old [E] canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty [B] old town, dirty old [C#m] town
[E] Clouds are drifting across the moon
Caps [A] are falling on [E] their wings
Springs of girl to the streets at night
[B] Dirty old town, dirty [C#m] old town
I [E]
heard a sigh from the dog
Saw [A] a train set the night [E] on fire
I smelt the spring through the smoky wind
Dirty [B] old town, dirty [C#m] old town
I'm [E] going to make a picture by
[A] Shining steel tempered in [E] the fire
I'll chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty [B] old town, dirty [C#m] old town
[E]
Dreamed a dream,
[A]
[E] I kissed my girl
[B] Dirty [C#m] old town, one more time
[G#m] I met [E] my love by the gas yard wall
[A] Dreamed a dream by the [E] old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty [B] old town, dirty [C#m] old town
[B]

[A] [E]
[N]
[D#]
[F]
I've been hiding up with a group called [D] The [D#]
Poe
[D] I've been hiding [G] up with some collaboration I can tell you
But we haven't got all night
Anyways,
