DIRTY OLD TOWN

(whisting = line three of verse 1)  D -A -G -D

                       D
1. I found my love by the gaswork`s croft,
                          G                          D
    dreamed a dream by the old canal.

    Kissed my girl by the factory wall,
                    A  - G                D
    dirty old town,    dirty old town.

                         D
2. Clouds are drifting across the blue,
                     G                       D
    cats are prowling on their beat.

    Spring`s a girl in the streets at night,
                    A    - G                D
    dirty old town,      dirty old town.

                   D 
3. I heard a si-ren from the docks,
                G                              D
    saw a train set the night on fire.

    Smelled the spring in the smoky wind,
                    A  - G               D
    dirty old town,   dirty old town.

                        D       
4. I`m gonna make a good sharp axe,
                   G                              D
    shining steel tempered in the fire.

    I`ll chop you down like an old dead tree,
                           A  - G                       D
    you dirty old town,    you dirty old town.

5. = whistling of verse 1
