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

             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
