Private Investigations - Dire Straits (Chords version)



Intro: Em; Em/D; Bm; A; G; F/A; B7; G; Edim; Am6; B7; Em;

1:
Em/D                     Bm
    It's a mystery to me - the game commences
                  A
For the usual fee - plus expenses
G                         F/A
 Confidential information - it's in a diary
B7                         G
  This is my investigation - it's not a public inquiry

Edim / / /
Am6 / / /
B7 / / /
Em / / /


2:
Em/D                              Bm
    I go checking out the reports - digging up the dirt
                             A
You get to meet in all sorts - in this line of work
G                      F/A
 Treachery and treason - there's always an excuse for it
B7                           G
  And when I find the reason - I still can't get used to it

Edim / / /
Am6 / / /
B7 / / /
Em     D


3:
G                     D
 And what have you got at the end of the day?
C                  Em
 What have you got - to take away?
D   G                   D
     A bottle of whisky - and a new set of lies
C                              B7
   Blinds on the windows and a pain behind the eyes


Repeat intro


Edim
 ?s Gone for life
Am6
 No compesation
B7                        Em
