i’m sure all the lyrics and chords are correct , if not apologies , this is my first tab .
the strum pattern is a sort of shuffle but you can be quite free with it .
listen to the song to get the best feel .

enjoy!

( all chords are open not barred )

intro : G C G D Em

verse :

G
i met my love by the gasworks wall

C G
dreamed a dream by the old canal

i kissed my girl by the factory wall

D Em
dirty old town , dirty old town

G
clouds are drifting across the moon

C G
cats are prowling on their beat

springs a girl from the streets at night

D Em
dirty old town , dirty old town

G
i heard a siren from the docks

C G
saw a train set the night on fire

i smelled the spring on the smoky wind

D Em
dirty old town , dirty old town

bridge : G C G D Em ( there is a slight variation on the chords but i’m not sure
what it is , any ideas would be appreciated )

G
i’m gonna make me a big sharp axe

C G
shining steel tempered in the fire

i’ll chop you down like an old dead tree

D Em
dirty old town , dirty old town

( for the final verse just do a single down stroke on each of the chords )
G
i met my love by the gasworks wall

C G
dreamed a dream by the old canal

i kissed my girl by the factory wall

D Em
dirty old town , dirty old town

D Em
dirty old town , dirty old town
