Lesson

[G] [D] [Em]
I met my [G]love, by the gas works wall
Dreamed a [C]dream, by the old [G]canal
[G]I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
Dirty old [D]town, dirty old [Em]town.

[D]Clouds are [G]drifting across the moon
Cats are [C]prowling on their [G]beats
[G]Springs a girl on the streets at night
Dirty old [D]town, dirty old [Em]town.

[D]Heard a [G]siren from the dock
Saw a [C]train cut the night on [G]fire
[G]Smelled the breeze on the smokey wind
Dirty old [D]town, dirty old [Em]town.

[D]I’m going to [G]make me a big sharp axe
Shining [C]steel tempered in the [G]fire
[G]I’ll chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old [D]town, dirty old [Em]town.

[D]I met my [G]love, by the gas works wall
Dreamed a [C]dream, by the old [G]canal
[G]I kissed my girl, by the factory wall
Dirty old [D]town, dirty old [Em]town.
Dirty old [D]town, dirty old [Em]town.
