I found this, and saw it wasn't here. Credit goes to whoever wrote it out!

G
Met my love, by the gas works wall
           C                 G
Dreamed a dream, by the old canal

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 beats

Springs a girl on the streets at night
           D               Em
Dirty old town, dirty old town


Instrumental (do do do do do....etc)


         G
I heard a siren from the dock
      C                      G
Saw a train cut the night on fire

I smelled the spring on the smokey wind
           D              Em
Dirty old town, dirty old town


             G
I'm going to make me a big sharp ax
         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

(Slowly)

G
Met my love, by the gas works wall
           C                 G
Dreamed a dream, by the old canal

Kissed my girl, by the factory wall
           D               Em
Dirty old town, dirty old town

(Normal Rhythm Again)

           D               Em
Dirty old town, dirty old town.
