I met [E] my love by the gas yard wall,
[B] [A] Dreamed a dream by the [E] old canal,
I kissed my girl by the factory wall.
[B] Dirty old town, [C#m] dirty old town,
[E] Clouds are drifting across the moon,
Cats [A] are prowling on [E] their feet,
Springs of girls to the streets at night.
Dirty [B] old town, dirty [C#m] old town,
I heard [E] a siren from the door,
[F#] Saw [A] a train set the night [E] on fire,
I smelt the spring through the smoky window.
Dirty [B] old town, dirty [C#m] old town,
I'm [E] going to make a big shine of mine,
[A] Shining steel tempered in [E] the fire,
I'll chop you down like an old dead speed.
Dirty [B] old town, dirty [C#m] old town,
I met
[E] my love by the gas yard wall,
Dreamed a dream [A] by the [E] old canal,
I kissed my girl by the factory wall.
[B]
[C#m] I [G#m]
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] Dirty old town, dirty [E] old town.
