C
I met my love by the gas works wall

                    F                            C
Dreamed a dream by the old canal

  F             C
I kissed a girl by the factory wall

               Dm                 Am    
Dirty old town dirty old town

  (Endaslag vísu í Am, næsta vísa byrjar á slagi í G7)

G7            C
Clouds a drifting across the moon

            F                           C
Cats a prowling on their beat

               F C
Spring's a girl in the street at night

               Dm                 Am     
Dirty old town dirty old town

G7         C
Heard a siren from the docks

            F                                C
Saw a train set the night on fire

               F   C
Smelled the spring in the smokey wind

               Dm                 Am         G7
Dirty old town dirty old town

G7  C
I'm  going to make a good sharp axe

              F                                  C
Shining steel tempered in the fire

       F              C  
Will chop you down like an old dead tree

               Dm                 Am     
Dirty old town dirty old town

              Dm                 Am     
Dirty old town dirty old town

               F                    C     
Dirty old town dirty old town
