^{G, C, D, G, D, Emi} Met my love, by the gas yard wall dreamed a dream, by the old canal kissed my girl, by the factor wall dirty old town, dirty old town Heard a siren from the dock saw a train cut the night on fire smelled the breeze on the smokey wind dirty old town, dirty old town I`m going to make a big sharp ax shining steel tempered in the fire I`ll cut you down like an old dead tree dirty old town, dirty old town Clouds are drifting on the street cats are prowling on their beats springs a girl on the streets at night dirty old town, dirty old town Met my love, by the gas yard wall dreamed a dream, by the old canal kissed my girl, by the factory wall dirty old town, dirty old town.
