[Verse 1]
C
Found my love by the gaswork croft
C
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
          Am                   C
Kissed my girl by the factory wall
          Dm   G            Am    N.C.
Dirty old town,   dirty old town

[Verse 2]
          C
I heard a siren from the dock
C
Saw a train set the night on fire
        Am                         C
Smelled the spring on the sulfured wind
                     G   F         Am    N.C.
Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town

[Verse 3]
               C
We're goin' to take a good sharp axe
C
Shining steel tempered in the fire
               Am                        C
And we'll chop you down like an old dead tree
          Dm          Am
Dirty old town, dirty old town
          Dm         G         Am       N.C.
Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town

[Interlude]
Am

[Outro]
Am
And oh we'll chop you down
Am
Oh, dirty, dirty, dirty old town
Am
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Am
And oh whoa-oh dirty old town
Am
Chop you down one of these days
