Verse:
B minorBm Bm7Bm7
She came, as in the book, Mickey Spillane
G/BG/B
That Saturday night dark masquerade
Gmaj7Gmaj7 F#F#
Had filled his friend with lead, the same, sweetheart
B minorBm Bm7Bm7
But then, as nothing happens quite the same
G/BG/B
Investigation is the game
Gmaj7Gmaj7 F#F# B minorBm
He had to check her story right away-he dead
Bm7Bm7
Sam Space his buddy Archer first to go he got it
Bm7Bm7
She spelt it out, how could they know the 'Fatman' got it
Bm7Bm7 -he dead
Her sister didn't really live at all-confusion-he dead
G+G A augmentedA Bm7Bm7 G+G F#F#
His chase led to the Fatman, to face the friends of Mr. Cairo
B minorBm Bm7Bm7
That night, the double crosser got it right
G/BG/B
Pretending he was really dim
Gmaj7Gmaj7 F#F#
He slipped to Sam a double gin (Mickey Finn)
B minorBm Bm7Bm7
He woke, the boys had gone, but not his gun
G/BG/B
They'd left a note to lead him on
Gmaj7Gmaj7 F#F# B minorBm
The chase to find the Maltese Falcon-you bet-
B minorBm
Early thirties gangster movies
Set to spellbind population
B minorBm
From Chicago to Hong Kong
Via Istanbul the Talking Tong
B minorBm
Dirty rats thru' prohibition
Money flowed thru gangsterism
B minorBm
Acting out his fantasy
In Hollywoods vicinity
B minorBm
The best part for the best rendition
Al Capone he sent to prison
B minorBm
Citizen Kane came fast and quickly
Conquerin ol' New York City
B minorBm
Poking fun at superstition
Media became television
B minorBm
Give me Cagney anyday
Or Jimmy Stewart for President
B minorBm
Or Edward 'G' and all those guys
G+G A augmentedA
Who always shoot between the eyes
G+G A augmentedA
Between the eyes
G+G A augmentedA
Between the eyes

B minorBm F#m7F#m7
Father love do you work, do you work for Mother
B minorBm F#m7F#m7
Chances could call, and accept that, be no other
B minorBm F#m7F#m7
Science as it might, disappear correspond with colour
B minorBm F#m7F#m7
Chance is the fruit, will outlive, what is now the brother
B minorBm F#m7F#m7
Call for total wealth to distribute like a picture
B minorBm F#m7F#m7
In black and white, give it joy, give it, let it hit you
B minorBm F#m7F#m7
Spoil our existence by extreme gift to population
B minorBm F#m7F#m7
Father love do you work, do you work for Mother?

Verse:
B minorBm
One on one to talk to you
Bm/A(x04432)
Like film stars they get close to you
G+G
You've mirrored his appeal
F#F# B minorBm
He wants you so, he wants to be beside you
Bm/ABm/A G+G F#F# B minorBm
Then you pass by giving him the other side of you
Bm/ABm/A
Like the mystics do
G+G F#F# B minorBm - Bm/ABm/A - G+G - F#F#
So that every time he moves, he moves for you
B minorBm
Soul and light can always see
BM/A G+G
The metting of true love and she
F#F#
This silent night and I,
B minorBm
I guess a lonely mind might see
Bm/ABm/A G+G
I've seen love on the screen
F#F# BB F#/B(x24322)
I've seen a screen goddesss and me-oh
BB F#F# BB
How often this, how often, this the power of you
BB F#/A#(xx8676)A°
And so, I must confess
C#m7C#m7
Whatever I see
Em7/B(x22033) BB F#F#
I'm meant to be there with you
BB F#F# BB F#F# BB F#F# BB F#F#
With you with you With you, with you
