#Dirty Davey - Levellers
#
#Written by Nick Burbridge
#
#Tuning:
#DADADD (from standard: -2 0 0 2 3 -2)
#
#Helpful mark checked the tuning of each string before the track,
#(his bottom D was a bit flat:p )
#so thats definately the correct tuning
#
#
# D5 C6add9/D Bbmaj7/D cd be replaced by Dm C Bb, if ur a wuss;)
#
#
#
#
#
#
#
#
#The open Ds and A give a nice folky drone - but i'll just call the chords D C Bb from now
#
#D C x4
#
[C] [Bb] [Bb] [C] [D]
Well [D]Dirty Davey's [C]down the front and he's [D]met the coppers [C]there
They'll be [C]taking you in cos they [Bb]hate your skin
And he's [Bb]dragged a[C]way by the [D]hair
CHORUS
It's a [D]kick in the head and a [C]prison bed
And you [Bb]tell me [C]it's the [D]law
[D] [C] [Bb] [C]
[D] [C] [D] [C] [C] [Bb] [C] [D]
Well Davey's out on two weeks bail and he's down the town to score
When it all falls in and he's pinned by the chin
And they'vve rusted every floor
It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law
Davey's down the old grey squat
And he's lying with his lass
When there's a brick through the pane
ANd he's out on the lane
With the bailiffs and the glass
It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law
The court comes up on Monday morning and Davey's in the dock
He can't stop his tears when he gets two years
And you can't turn back the clock
It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law
REEL break - easy to bash through using the same 3 chords
SLOW
Well [D]Davey's had it [C]up to here
[D]Banging his head on the [C]wall
So he [C]tied his pants to the [Bb]prison [C]bars
Bb C D (1,2,3,4)
And he's hung till he's clear of it all
It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law
There's a law for the rich and a law for the poor
And a law for Dirty Davey
His body's gone but his soul lives on
Here's to you Dirty Davey
Its Corrupt, corrupt from the bottom to the top
And you tell me it's the law
Thats the lot, a great workout for the right hand, a no-brainer for the left
