Verse
     G7 G7      G7 
Yeow     Yeow Yeow 

             Em    D         Dm7    D 
Please allow me to introduce myself  

      D                 E7    Em 
I'm a man of wealth and taste  

Em                     D 
I've been around for a long long year 

      A7                E7       E7 
Stole many a man's soul an faith  

                  D     D7     D 
I was 'round when Jesus Christ  

        D                   E7   E7 
Had his moment of doubt and pain  

                    D7 
Made damn sure that Pilate 

           D7                   E7   E7 
Washed his hands and sealed his fate  

                    E7 
Pleased to meet you  

                       E7 
Hope you guess my name  

           B 
But what's puzzlin' you 

       B              B    E7 E7 
Is the  nature of my game    

                D 
Stuck around St Petersburg 

     D                         E7     E7 
When I saw it was a time for a change  

                    D 
Killed the Tsar and his ministers 

A                  E7      E7 
Anastasia screamed in vain  


I rode a tank 

     D 
Held a general's rank 

         D 
When the blitzkrieg raged 

    E7               E7 B 
And the bodies stank    

                    B7 
Pleased to meet you  

                  B7   E7 
Hope you guess my name   oh yeah 

   B7 
Ah what's puzzling you 

   B7               E7           E7 
Is the nature of my game ah yeah  


Chorus

I watched with glee 

      D 
While your kings and queens 

       D 
Fought for ten decades 

    E7 
For the gods they made 

E7 
I shouted out 

           D7 
Who killed the Kennedy's 

     A7 
When after all 

   E7             E7 
It was you and me  

              D 
Let me please introduce myself 

    C#m             Em  E7 
I'm a man of wealth and taste 

E7               D 
And I laid traps for troubadours 

    A7                           E7     E7 B 
Who get killed before they reach Bombay    

                    B7 
Pleased to meet you  

                  E7 
Hope you guess my name oh yeah 

    B

   B7               E7

Verse
     E7                   D 
Just   as every cop is a criminal 

D       A7          E7 
And all the sinners saints 

E7 
As heads is tails 

          D 
Just call me Lucifer 

       D                   E7 
'cause I'm in need of some restraint 

      E7 
So if you meet me 

          D 
Have some courtesy 

     A7                E7 
Have some sympathy and some taste 


Chorus
E7                       D 
Use all your welllearned politeness 

   C#m           A      E7               B 
Or I'll lay your  soul to waste mm yeah
