[Intro 1]
[F]

[Verse 1]
[F]Hetty said, if you ask me nicely
I'll write you up well
Don't tell me twice
[G]Quote you directly
[F]Or pay the price
Peel [Bb]off your skin like a thin v[F]eneer
If something tells you something that I
[G]didn't hear from you

[Interlude 1]
[G][Eb][G][F]

[Verse 2]
[Eb]Who's got the dope?
Who's got the [F]potential?
[C]Hetty [F]O'Hara Con
[G]fidential
[F][Dm][F]

[Verse 3]
Those were [G]differ[F]ent days
Those were differ[G]ent [F]drugs
The gold- plate palace
with the half- mast flags
A [G]chalk lined [F]body that
was full of slugs
She was trading favors for
[G]footnote [F]plugs
Who's got the needle?
Who is fit to [Bb]burst?
[F]A morphine tattoo,
an unquenchable [G]thirst

[Verse 4]
Who's got your [F]girlfriend?
And who had [Dm]her first?[G]
[Eb]Reading her column was essen[F]tial
[C]Hetty O'Hara Con[G]
fidential
[Dm][F][Dm]

[Verse 5]
[F]
She could [Eb]kill a man with a single [G]stroke
[F]She is not[Eb] the one you want
to [F]provoke[G][F][G]
[Eb]If you can't take the heat
Or you can't take [G]a joke[F][G][F]

[Verse 6]
[Eb]Who's got the dope?
Who's got the potential?
[Cm]Hetty [C]O'Har[G]a C[F]onfident[G]ial
[F]

[Verse 7]
If there was a gentle[G]man [Dm]caller
[F]To a comely wench
And a snooping peeper
In [Eb]a coat [G]of trench
She'd place a line or [F]two
At the foot of the page
A cue or a clue
To the [Dm]latest [G]rage
[Dm]With your [G]true[Bb] dimensions[F]
And your actual [G]age[Dm][G][F]
Trade a life of scandal
For a career on the [G]stage[F]
[Eb]These little

[Verse 8]
things seem
inconsequential
Except to [Cm]Hetty O'Hara
[F]Confidential

[Interlude 2]
[F][G][F]

[Verse 9]
On the [F]night he came [Dm]home
[F]From [Dm]the de[F]butante ball
Passed out drunk on the [Eb]bath[F]room floor
Call- girl called after taking a peek
At the secret [Dm]drawer [F]of
[Dm]atomic secrets
Repeating [F]something that
I whispered about
They have [G]to take it
[F]But they [Eb]can't dish it [F]out
[Eb]Who's cleaning

[Verse 10]
up his act?
And breaking [G]the bank?
[Eb]But unfortunately didn't
remember to [G]thank [Dm]me
[G]But now[F] the rum[Eb]or is doing the rounds
That his only [F]friends
Are vil[Dm]lains [F]and scoun[Dm] drels
[F]Her reputation curled like yellow smoke
She named the wrong man
in the story [Eb]she b[F]roke

[Verse 11]
She [Eb]had an unfor[F]tunate character trait
The irresistible impulse to assas[Eb]sinate
But the damage you did
was quite substantial
To Hetty [G]O'Hara Confidential
[Dm][F][Dm]

[Verse 12]
[F]
They've got witch trials now
With witches to spare
And a [Dm]jukebox jury full of
[F]judgement and [G]fury
[Dm]With bright [F]neon dresses and porn
[G]star [Dm]hair[G][Dm][G][Dm]
[F]She was thrown to the wolves
And the dogs and the foxes
Once they'd had their fill
of shares and stocks
[G]Their gaze is unforgiv[Dm]ing
[F]If your morals are [G]lax
[F]Pointing mani[G]cured [F]finger
[Dm]s and making a [G]mockery
With voices that [Dm]sound like
broken [G]crockery[Dm]
[Eb]Hetty said,
"I'm powerless and I feel alone"
Now every[G]one [Dm]has a[G] megap[Dm]hone
[G][Dm][F]

[Verse 13]
[Eb]Who's got the dope?
Who's got the potential?
[F]Hetty [C]O'Hara [F]Confid[G]en ti[F]al[Eb]

[Outro 1]
[F]
