I'm gonna tell you about my town  

D          A                  E        A  
I'm gonna tell you a big fat story, baby

Aw, it's all about my town  

D A    E   A      D  A

Down by the banks of the river Charles

(Aw, that's what's happenin' baby)

That's where you'll find me  

A  D         G      D             E A  
Along with lovers, muggers, and thieves

Well I love that dirty water

 E   A      D  A                      E     
Frustrated women (I mean they're frustrated)  

 A          D     A        E A   D    A         E A D A  
Have to be in by twelve o'clock (oh, that's a shame)  

        A        D     G  D   A  
But I'm wishin' and a-hopin', oh  
 D         G         D             E A  
That just once those doors weren't locked  

D               A                           E A D A

Well I love that dirty water

Oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, yeah)

'Cause I love that dirty water (Repeat and Fade)
