Em7                  D
It's a mystery to me - the game commences
                  A  
For the usual fee - plus expenses
 G                        F 
Confidential information - it's in a diary
 B7                      Em 
This is my investigation - it's not a public inquiry

I go checking out the reports, digging up the dirt
You get to meet all sorts in this line of work
Treachery and treason, there's always an excuse for it
And when I find the reason, I still can't get used to it

Chorus:
G                    D
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                            B7
Blinds on the windows and a pain behind the eyes

Gdim             Am6  
Scarred for life - no compensation
B7
