Songs For My Own Enjoyment: Dirty Old Town

NC       G           C         G      

I met my love by the gas works croft  

          C                   G    

Dreamed a dream by the old ca-nal  

I kissed my girl by the factory wall  

          Am              Em    

Dirty old town, dirty old town  

NC         G          C         G     

Clouds are drifting a-cross the moon  

         C                 G     

Cats are prowling on their beat  

Spring's a girl from the streets at night  

          Am              Em    

Dirty old town, dirty old town  

NC       G           C         G      

I met my love by the gas works croft  

          C                   G    

Dreamed a dream by the old ca-nal  

  G                                   

I kissed my girl by the factory wall  

          Am              Em    

Dirty old town, dirty old town  

NC        G     C        G      

I heard a siren from the docks  

      C                      G     

Saw a train set the night on fire  

I smelled the spring on the smoky wind  

          Am              Em    

Dirty old town, dirty old town  

NC        G         C         G    

I'm gonna make me a big sharp axe  

        C                     G     

Shining steel tempered in the fire  

I'll chop you down like an old dead tree  

          Am             Em    

Dirty old town dirty old town  

NC       G           C         G      

I met my love by the gas works croft  

          C                   G    

Dreamed a dream by the old ca-nal  

I kissed my girl by the factory wall  

          Am              Em    

Dirty old town, dirty old town  

                    Am              Em    

(slowing) Dirty old town, dirty old town
