Dirty old town (all of it)
+3 +4 -4 +5 +4 -4 +5 +4 +3
I met my love by the gas works wall
+5 +6 -6 +6 -6 +5 +4 +5
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
-6 +6 +5 +4 -4 +5 +4 +3
Kissed a girl by the factory wall
+3 +4 +5 -4
Dirty old town
-4 +4 -3 +4
Dirty old town
+4 -4 +5 +4 +5 +4 +3
Clouds a drifting across the moon
+5 +6 -6 +6 -6 +6 +5
Cats a prowling on their beat
-6 +6 +5 +4 -4 +5 +4 +3
Spring’s a girl in the street at night
+3 +4 +5 -4
Dirty old town
-4 +4 -3 +4
Dirty old town
+4 -4 +5 +4 +5 +4 +3
Heard a siren from the docks
+4 +5 -6 +6 -6 +6 +5 +6
Saw a train set the night on fire
-6 +6 +5 +4 -4 +5 +4 +3
Smelled the spring on the smoky wind
+3 +4 +5 -4
Dirty old town
-4 +4 -3 +4
Dirty old town
+3 +4-4 +5 +4 -4 +5 +4 +3
I’m gonna make me a good sharp axe
+5 +6 -6 +6 +5 -4 +4 +5
Shining steel tempered in the fire
+6 -6 +6 +5 +4 -4 +5 +4 +3
Will chop you down like an old dead tree
+3 +4 +5 -4
Dirty old town
-4 +4 -3 +4
Dirty old town

Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Cats are prowling on their beat
Spring’s a girl from the streets at night
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Saw a train set the night on fire
I smelled the spring on the smoky wind
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Shining steel tempered in the fire
I’ll chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
