INTRO: 
Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am (guitar only) 

Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am (add violin) 
Dm Am Bb Dm 


VERSE I: 
Dm Am Dm Am 
Dirty Davey's down the front and he's met the coppers there 
Dm Am Bb Dm 
They'll be taking you in cos they hate your skin, he's dragged away by the hair 


CHORUS: 
Dm Am 
-Mcdermott's Two Hours version-
Corrupt corrupt from the bottom to the top
-levelers version-
It's a kick in the head and a prison bed 
Dm Am 
And you tell me it's the law 


Dm C Am Bb 

Dm Am Dm Am 


VERSE II: 
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've busted every floor 


CHORUS 

Dm Am Dm Am 


VERSE III: 
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 


CHORUS 


Dm Am Dm Am 


VERSE IV: 
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 


CHORUS 


VERSE V: 
Well Davey's had it up to here banging his head on the wall 
So he tied his pants to the prison bars and he's hung till he's clear of it all 


CHORUS 


Dm Am Dm Am 


VERSE VI: 
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 


CHORUS 


OUTRO: 
Corrupt, corrupt from the bottom to the top 
And you tell me it's the law 
Corrupt, corrupt from the bottom to the top 
And you tell me it's the law 
Corrupt, corrupt from the bottom to the top 
And you tell me it's the law
