^{Key: :[G] (w: Ewan MacColl, 1949) (the Dubliners, 1968)}

VERSE 1:
I met my [G] love, by the gas works wall
Dreamed a [C] dream, by the old [G] canal
I kissed my [G] girl, by the factory wall
Dirty old [D] town, dirty old [Em] town

VERSE 2:
Clouds are [G] drifting across the moon
Cats are [C] prowling on their [G] beats
Springs a [G] girl on the streets at night
Dirty old [D] town, dirty old [Em] town

VERSE 3:
I heard a [G] siren from the docks
Saw a [C] train set the night on [G] fire
Smelled the [G] spring of the smokey wind
Dirty old [D] town, dirty old [Em] town

VERSE 4:
I'm going to [G] make a good sharp axe
Shining [C] steel tempered in the [G] fire
I'll chop you [G] down like an old dead tree
Dirty old [D] town, dirty old [Em] town

VERSE 5:
I met my [G] love, by the gas works wall
Dreamed a [C] dream, by the old [G] canal
I kissed my [G] girl, by the factory wall
Dirty old [D] town, dirty old [Em] town

OUTRO:
Dirty old [D] town, dirty old [G] town [D] [G]
