Performance: live Key: F#m Verse 1: Em D Please allow me to introduce myself A Em I'm a man of wealth and taste Em D I've been around for a long, long year A Em Stole many a man's soul to waste Em D And I was 'round when Jesus Christ A Em Had his moment of doubt and pain D Made damn sure that Pilate A Em Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Chorus: B Pleased to meet you B7 Em Hope you guess my name B But what's puzzling you B7 Em Is the nature of my game Verse 2: Em D I stuck around St. Petersburg A Em When I saw it was a time for a change Em D Killed the Czar and his ministers A Em Anastasia screamed in vain Em I rode a tank D Held a general's rank A When the Blitzkrieg raged Em And the bodies stank Chorus: B Pleased to meet you Em Hope you guess my name B But what's puzzling you B7 Em Is the nature of my game Verse 3: Em I watched with glee D While your kings and queens A Fought for decades Em For the Gods they made Em I shouted out D "Who killed the Kennedys " A When after all Em It was you and me Em D Let me please introduce myself A Em I'm a man of wealth and taste D And I laid traps for troubadours A Em Who get killed before they reached Bombay Chorus: B Pleased to meet you Em Hope you guess my name B But what's confusing you Em Is the nature of my game Verse 4: Em D Just as every cop is a criminal A Em And all the sinners saints Em As heads is tails D Just call me Lucifer A Em 'Cause I'm in need of some restraint Em So if you meet me D Have some courtesy A Em Have some sympathy, and some taste D Use all your well-learned politesse A Em Or I'll lay your fucking soul to waste, um yeah Chorus: B Pleased to meet you Em Hope you guess my name B But what's puzzling you Em Is the nature of my game
