(I met my love      D# D# D# D# - (Bb Bb Cm Cm)

 By the gas works wall

 Dreamed a dream  - By the old canal

 I kissed my girl - By the factory wall)

(Dirty old town   - Dirty old town x1)


(Clouds are drifting      [Verse] (Bb  Bb

 Across the moon                   Cm C#)

 Cats are prowling - On their beat

 Spring's a girl

 From the streets at night)

(I heard a siren      G# G# G# G# - D# D# Fm G7

 From the docks

 Saw a train - Set the night on fire

 I smelled the spring

 On the smoky wind)    [Intro] Bb  Bb  Bb  Bb

[Verse] (I'm gonna make        Cm Cm Gm Bb

 Me a big sharp axe

 Shining steel - Tempered in the fire

 I'll chop you down

 Like an old dead tree)
