SONG: Dirty Rotten Number ARTIST: David Yazbek 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
