  \begin{verse}
    \[Am] I met my \[C]love by the gas works wall
    Dreamed a \[F]dream by the old ca\[C]nal
    Kissed a girl by the factory wall
    Dirty old \[G]town
    Dirty old \[Am]town
  \end{verse}

  \begin{verse}
    Clouds a drifting across the moon
    Cats a prowling on their beat
    Spring's a girl in the street at night
    Dirty old town \rep{2}
  \end{verse}

  \begin{verse}
    Heard a siren from the docks
    Saw a train set the night on fire
    Smelled the spring of the smoky wind
    Dirty old town \rep{2}
  \end{verse}

  \begin{verse}
    I'm going to make a good sharp axe
    Shining steel tempered in the fire
    Will chop you down like an old dead tree
    Dirty old town \rep{2}
  \end{verse}
