   It's a mystery to me - the game commences
                     A/C#
   For the usual fee - plus expenses
G/B                         F/A
   Confidential information - it's in a diary
B7/A                        Em/G
   This is my investigation - it's not a public inquiry

   I go checking out the reports - digging up the dirt
                                A/C#
   You get to meet in all sorts - in this line of work
G/B                      F/A
   Treachery and treason - there's always an excuse for it
B7/A                          Em/G
   And when I find the reason - I still can't get used to it

   And what have you got at the end of the day?
Am                   Em         D
   What have you got - to take away?
G                   C   D
   A bottle of whisky - and a new set of lies
C                              B
   Blinds on the windows and a pain behind the eyes
