The cops are taking it away

When the troubles got to stop
[F]Here's my card
I'm the Continental Op

[Verse 3]
Jane Doe in the bay
Now that's exhibit 'A'
Bloodstains on the dress
of the [F]millionairess
[C]But I saw you[G] leavin' town
I'm gonna have to track you down

[Verse 4]
Just like a [G]hound[F]
[C]You sli[G]pped through the web
And you might have dodged the Feds
But [D]who they gonna get when

[Verse 5]

Call the agency, we never [F]close
[C]First consultation is free
[F]Che[C]ck my reputation, check my pose
[Am]But

[Verse 6]
[D]first check my [F]fee
There's a [G]menace on the streets
Offering infants sweets
[C]Don't giv[G]e this man a ride
Lock your car from the inside

[Verse 7]
[G]He's suspect No. 1
But I guess his race is [F]run[C]
He [G]left a set of prints
He's not as smart as he thinks

[Verse 8]
'Cause [D]who they gonna get
When the trouble's gotta [F]stop
Here's my card
I'm the Continental Op

There's a body in the bay
[C]The cops have tak[G]en it away
They say this case was closed

[Verse 10]
[G]Bruises 'round the neck
When they did a body check
[C]I s[G]aw you leaving town
I'll track you down like a hound
[D]Who they gonna get when you've
outfoxed the [C]cop

[Verse 11]
[F]Here's my card
