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
