Tuning: E A D G B E

You don't have to play the first verse but I put the chords in just in case you wanted too [Verse 1]

I found my ^Dlove by the gas works ^Awall. Dreamed a ^Gdream by the old ca^Dnal Kissed my ^Dgirl by the factory wall Dirty old ^Atown, dirty old ^Bm7town

[Verse 2]

Clouds are ^Ddrifting across the moon Cats are ^Gprowling on th^Deir beat Springs a ^Dgirl in the streets at night Dirty old ^Atown, dirty old ^Bm7town

[Verse 3]

I heard her ^Dsiren from the docks Saw a ^Gtrain set the night on ^Dfire Smelled the ^Dspring on the smoky wind Dirty old ^Atown, dirty old ^Bm7town

[Instrumental] |Bm7 |D |D |D |D |G |G |D |D |D |D |D |A |A |Bm7 |Bm7 | [Verse 4]

I'm going to ^Dmake me a good sharp axe Shining ^Gsteel tempered in the ^Dfire I'll chop you ^Ddown like an old dead tree Dirty old ^Atown, dirty old ^Bm7town Dirty old ^Atown, dirty old ^Bm7town

[Outro]

N.C.

I found my love by the gas works wall.

N.C.

Dreamed a dream by the old canal

N.C.

Kissed my girl by the factory wall

N.C.

Dirty old town, dirty old town
