Dirty Old Town Chords

(ver. 1)
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
I'm sure all the lyrics and chords are correct, if not apologies, this is my first tab.
The strum pattern is a sort of shuffle but you can be quite free with it. 
Listen to the song to get the best feel.

Enjoy!

(All chords are open NOT barred)

Intro: G C G D Em

Verse:

         G
I met my love by the gasworks wall 

          C                G
Dreamed a dream by the old can*l

 
I 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 beat

 
Springs a girl from the streets at night

          D               Em
Dirty old town, dirty old town



          G
I heard a siren from the docks

      C                      G
Saw a train set the night on fire


I smelled the spring on the smoky wind

          D               Em
Dirty old town, dirty old town




Bridge: G C G D Em (There is a slight variation on the chords but I'm not sure
                    what it is, any ideas would be appreciated)

 

         G
I'm gonna make me a big sharp axe

        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



(For the final verse just do a single down stroke on each of the chords)
         G
I met my love by the gasworks wall

          C                G
Dreamed a dream by the old can*l


I kissed my girl by the factory wall

          D               Em
Dirty old town, dirty old town



          D               Em
Dirty old town, dirty old town
