From the musical, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Intro:

Cm7   Cm6   Cm7   Cm6
Cm7   Cm6   Cm7   Cm6

              Cm7
You may be master of

      Cm6            Cm7       Cm6
Your chosen occupation

                   Cm7
With several strings of

     Cm6                  D    G7b5/C#
Polo ponies in your stable
            Cm7                D#
You must remember all the same

             G#(add9)
That at the crux of every game

            C#7
Is knowing when it's time

             Gm7b5
To leave the table.

            Cm7            F9
And it's important to be artful

         Cm7       F9
In your exit

               D#
No turning back, you must accept

 D#/G                 G#13
The con is done,

            F#maj7#11
But now and then, you might recall
             F9
The moments when you had it all

         C#9
You had the charm,

You had the talent
        G7(no3)
And, my God, you had some fun.

          Cm9                F9
It was a ball, it was a blast

            Cm9                   F9
And it's a shame it couldn't last,

        D#(add9)
But ev'ry chapter has to end,

           D       C#
You must agree.

          Cm9               D#
It was a joy, it was sublime,

            G#(add9)
A splendid way to earn a dime

      C#7              G7(no3)
For a dirty rotten guy like
 Cm9       F9      Cm9       F9
Me.


Dm9   G9   Dm9   G9


               Dm9             G9
When you look back on all your

               Dm9             G9
Conquests and deceptions

              F
You see a thousand flawless pearls

 F/A          A#13
Set in a strand,

         G#maj7#11
Laid out from Biarritz to Rome,
             G9
Each one as perfect as a poem

 D#9
An opus to be proud of though it's

A7(no3)
written in the sand.

          Dm9                G9
It was a ball, it was a thrill,

             Dm9                    G9
You had the grace, you had the skill

         F(add9)
To know exactly what to say

               E     D#
And what to do.

              Dm9                F
You wouldn't trade a single day

            A#(add9)
Or have it any other way

  D#9              A7(no3)
A dirty rotten guy like
 A#9
Me.



It's almost a religion
     D#maj7
The need to take a pigeon

        A#9
And to play your part

                   D#maj7
With elegance and zest


                  C#7
But when it's time to fold the act

          F#(add9)
And your duffel bag is packed

      F9
Take comfort in the fact

That you've been
A#9#11           A7#5
working with the best.

D#9#11

    A7#9            Dm9            G9
It was a blast, it was a ball

          Dm9              G9
It was a gas, I loved it all

          F(add9)
'Cause I was hanging with the man

                  E     D#
And that's a plus.


                     Dm9
You've got the verve

                     F
You've got the guts

                     A#(add9)
You've go the nerve


You've got the nuts!
               D#9
I guess we're dirty rotten crooks,


Dirty rotten shnooks
A7           A#7#5
Dirty rotten guys
Oh

             D#7#9           G#9
It was a trip, it was a blast
             D#7#9             G#9
It was a shame it couldn't lsat
               F#
'Cause it was almost

                          G#7
Too prodigious to discuss.



                B9               A#7#5
So we got screwed for fifty grand

                A13                  G#9
I think we still deserve a hand


       B9
Dirty

       B9
