Dirty Old Town

 

(E) I found my love(B7) by the gas works (E)cry, (E7)

Dreamed a (A)dream by the old ca(E)nal

(A)Kissed my (E)girl by the fact'ry wall

Dirty old (B7)town

(A)Dirty old C#m)town.

 

I heard a siren from the dock

Saw a train set the night on fire

Smelled the spring in the smoky wind

Dirty old town,

Dirty old town.

 

Clouds are drifting across the moon

Cats are prowling on their beat

Spring's a girl in the street at night,

Dirty old town,

Dirty old town.

 

I'm going to make a good sharp axe,

Shining steel, tempered in the fire,

We'll chop you down like an old dead tree,

Dirty old town,

Dirty old town.
