Intro:
[G] [F] [C] [Gsus4]
Verse 1:
[G*] Please allow me to intro-[F*] duce myself
I'm a [C*] man of wealth and [G*] taste [Gsus4] [G]
[G*] I've been around for a [F*] long, long year
Stolen [C*] many a man's soul and [G*] faith [Gsus4] [G]
[G] I was around when [F] Jesus Christ had His [C] moment of doubt and [G] pain [Gsus4]
[G] Made damn sure that [F] Pilate Washed his [C] hands and sealed his [G] fate [Gsus4][G]
|Chorus 1:
|[D] Pleased to meet you, [Dsus4] [D] hope you guess my [G] name [Gsus4]
|[G] But what's [D] puzzling you, [Dsus4] [D] is the nature of my [G] game [Gsus4] [G]
Verse 2:
[G] I stuck around St. [F] Petersburg When I [C] saw it was time for a [G] change
I killed the Tzar and his [F] ministers Anas-[C] tasia screamed in [G] vain
I rode a tank, held a [F] gen'ral's rank When the [C] blitzkrieg raged and the [G] bodies stank
|Chorus 2:
|[D] Pleased to meet you, hope you [C] guess my [G] name
|Ah what's [D] puzzling you, is the nature of my [G] game
Verse 3:
[G] I watched with glee while your [F] kings and queens
Fought for [C] ten decades for the [G] gods they made
I shouted out "Who killed the [F] Kennedys?" When [C] after all it was [G] you and me
[G] Let me please intro [F] duce myself I am a [C] man of wealth and [G] taste
And I lay traps for [F] troubadours Who get [C] killed before they reach Bom-[G]bay
|Chorus 2:
|[D] Pleased to meet you, hope you [C] guess my [G] name
|Ah what's [D] puzzling you, is the nature of my [G] game

|Chorus 3:
|[D] Pleased to meet you, hope you [C] guess my [G] name

Verse 4:
[G] Just as every cop is a [F] criminal And [C] all the sinners [G] saints
As heads is tails, just call me [F] Lucifer 'Cause I'm in [C] need of some re-[G]straint
[G] So if you meet me, have some [F] courtesy Have some [C] sympathy and some [G] taste
Use all your well-learned [F] politesse Or I'll [C] lay your soul to [G] waste
|Chorus 3:
|[D] Pleased to meet you, hope you [C] guess my [G] name
|But what's [D] confusing you, is the nature of my [G] game
