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,
