A                      G
Please allow me to introduce myself
       D      G     G#   A
I'm a man of wealth and taste
                        G
I've been around for a long, long year
       D            G  G#    A
Stole many a man's soul and faith
                       G
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
         D         G    G#   A
Had his moment of doubt and pain
                       G
Made damn sure that Pilate
            D          G    G#   A
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
  E
Pleased to meet you
                   A
Hope you guess my name
            G
But what's puzzling you
                     A
Is the nature of my game
                      G
I stuck around St. Petersburg
        D                        A
When I saw it was a time for a change
                         G
Killed the Czar and his ministers
     D                 A
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank
          G
Held a general's rank
           D
When the Blitzkrieg raged
         A
And the bodies stank
  E
Pleased to meet you
                   A
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
            G
But what's puzzling you
                     A
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
            G
While your kings and queens
                D
Fought for ten decades
         A
For the Gods they made

I shouted out
                 G
"Who killed the Kennedy's?"
      D
When after all
       A
It was you and me
                    G
Let me please introduce myself
       D                 A
I'm a man of wealth and taste
                      G
And I laid traps for troubadours
         D                            A
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
 E
Pleased to meet you
                   A
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
            G
But what's puzzling you
                     A
Is the nature of my game,oh yeah, get down, baby

Pleased to meet you
                     A
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
              G
But what's confusing you
                         A
Is just the nature of my game

G D A G D A
                         G
Just as every cop is a criminal
    D                A
And all the sinners Saints

As heads is tails
           G
Just call me Lucifer
               D                A
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
           G
Have some courtesy
           D                  A
Have some sympathy, and some taste
                             G
Use all your well-learned politesse
         D               A
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
  E
Pleased to meet you
                   A
Hope you guess my name, um yeah
            G
But what's puzzling you
                     A
Is the nature of my game, um baby, get dow...
