Clouds are drifting on the street

Cats are prowling on their beats

Springs a girl on the streets at night

dirty old town, dirty old town

(to imitate the ?siren" I'm playing a Bbm-on-C/-on-F-combination)

C (x32010@1)                    => Bbm=> (x13321@1)CI (x32010@1)heard a siren from the docks

I'm going to make a big sharp axe

shining steel, tempered in the fire

I'll chop you down like an old dead tree

dirty old town, dirty old town

I met my love, by the gas yard wall

I dreamed a dream, by the old canal

I kissed my girl, by the factory wall

Dirty old town, dirty old town
