Davey Kane chords by Jamie Webster

[Intro]

  Dm  Dm  Am    Gm
  Dm  Dm  Am    Gm  
 
 
[Verse]

Dm
Five to five cell closing time and 

Davey’s at wit's end

       Am                         
No, he hasn't smiled for days now, 
     Gm
seems halfway around the bend
    Dm
Got caught up in the neighbourhood 

where the earnings came from crime
    Am                                       
The chickens came and roosted, 
    Gm 
the judge declared his 
                Dm Am Gm
punishment was time
 
Dm
Six months in he’s wearing thin as 

his head rests on the door

         Am                                
It's the lad's third 

stint inside this yard, 

              Gm
you know he's seen it all before
   Dm
No self-refine, no guiding lines, 

been around too long to miss them

Am                                 
Left to reoffend, no friends in the 
Gm
joke of the justice system
 
[Chorus]

Dm             C         
Does it really work, this 
      Gm               A#
level of sheer confron-tation
         Dm            C     
Would it be such a cir-cus if 
    Gm           A#
you tried to edu-cate them
        Dm         C      
But you gave him a number 
    Gm            A#
and took away his name
Dm                    C/E              
Nothing to say if you play it this way, 
      F                 Gm            Dm
just a-nother day in the life of Davey Kane 
 
[Verse]

Dm
Seven degrees way overseas and 

Joey’s got it different
      Am                                   
Had a helping hand to leave past lands and 
     Gm
he's made a strong commitment
Dm
Found touch with his family, 

even earned himself a trade

       Am                    
It's a-mazing just how far 
                  Gm
he's come with a little effort made
 
Dm
Eight times Davey's asked for 

help but it's not the same situation
   Am                              Gm
Un-til he's free, hostility is the rehabilitation
Dm
Push him down so far and 

he might fail to see regret

      Am                                 
If an animal’s what you're breeding son, 
    Gm
an animal is what you'll get
 
[Chorus]

Dm             C          
Does it really work, this 
      Gm               A#
level of sheer confron-tation
         Dm            C      
Would it be such a cir-cus if 
    Gm           A#
you tried to edu-cate them
        Dm         C         
But you gave him a number and 
Gm            A#
took away his name
Dm                    C/E               
Nothing to say if you play it this way, 
      F                 Gm           Dm
just a-nother day in the life of Davey Kane
 
[Solo]

  Dm    Dm    Am    Gm 
  Dm    Dm    Am    Gm  
 
[Outro]

Dm
He's not the best of people, 

but it ain't as if he kills them

     Am                        
He’s took nobody's dignity and 
   Gm 
he bears no threat to children
      Dm
If he won't conform then do your worst, 

even I can't make a case
       Am                            
But at least give half a go to those 
    Gm                              Dm
who intend to rejoin the rat race
