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
Rotten
