   It's a mystery to me - the game commences 
                     A/C# 
   For the usual fee - plus expenses

   I go checking out the reports - digging up the dirt 
                                A/C#

   Treachery and treason - there's always an excuse for it

   A bottle of whisky - and a new set of lies 
C                              B 
   Blinds on the windows and a pain behind the eyes
