VERSE

Please allow me to introduce myself

G G/B D

I’m a man of wealth and taste

I’ve been around for a long, long year

G G/B D

Stole many a man’s soul and faith

VERSE

And I was ’round when Jesus Christ

G G/B D

Had his moment of doubt and pain

Made damn sure that Pilate

G G/B | D | % |

Washed his hands and sealed his fate

CHORUS

Pleased to meet you

D A | D Dsus4 | D |

Hope you guess my name

But what’s puzzling you

D A | D Dsus4 | D |

Is the nature of my game

VERSE

I stuck around St. Petersburg

G G/B D Dsus4 D

When I saw it was a time for a change

Killed the Czar and his ministers

G G/B D Dsus4 D

Anastasia screamed in vain

VERSE

I rode a tank, held a general’s rank

G G/B D Dsus4 D | D |

When the Blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank

CHORUS

Pleased to meet you

D A | D Dsus4 | D |

Hope you guess my name

But what’s puzzling you

D A | D Dsus4 | D |

Is the nature of my game

VERSE

I watched with glee while your kings and queens

G G/B D Dsus4 D

Fought for ten decades for the Gods they made

I shouted out “Who killed the Kennedys?”

G G/B D Dsus4 D

When after all it was you and me

VERSE

Let me please introduce myself

G G/B D Dsus4 D

I’m a man of wealth and taste

And I laid traps for troubadours

G G/B D Dsus4 D | D |

Who get killed before they reached Bom – bay

CHORUS

Pleased to meet you

D A | D Dsus4 | D |

Hope you guess my name

But what’s puzzling you

D A | D Dsus4 | D |

Is the nature of my game (Oh yeah, get down, baby)

CHORUS

Pleased to meet you

D A | D Dsus4 | D |

Hope you guess my name

But what’s confusing you

D A | D Dsus4 | D |

Is just the nature of my game

VERSE

Just as every cop is a criminal

And all the sinners saints

As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer

‘Cause I’m in need of some restraint

VERSE

So if you meet me have some courtesy

Have some sympathy, and some taste

Use all your well-learned politesse

Or I’ll lay your soul to waste, um yeah

CHORUS

Pleased to meet you

D A | D Dsus4 | D |

Hope you guess my name

But what’s puzzling you

D A | D Dsus4 | D |

Is the nature of my game
