[Intro]
D G D Em Bm
I met my lGove, by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dCream, by the old cGanal
I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
Dirty old tDown, dirty old tEmown
Clouds are dGrifting across the moon
Cats are pCrowling on their bGeats
Springs a girl on the streets at night
dDirty old town, dEmirty old town
Bridge played over:
C C C C F F C C C C C C G G Am
Heard a sGiren from the dock
saw a Ctrain cut the night on Gfire
smelled the breeze on the smokey wind
dirty old tDown, dirty old Emtown
I'm going to Gmake me a big sharp ax
Shining sCteel tempered in the Gfire
I'll chop you down like an old dead tree
dirty old Dtown, dirty old Emtown
I met my Glove, by the gas works wall
Dreamed a Cdream, by the old cGanal
I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
Dirty old tDown, dirty old tEmown
Dirty old tDown, dirty old tEmown
