   It's a mystery to me - the game commences

   For the usual fee - plus expenses 
G B                         F A

   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 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
