[E] [D]
[A] [G] [E]
[D]
[A] [E]
Please allow me to [D] introduce myself.
I'm [A] a man of [E] wealth and taste.
I've been around [D] for a long, long year.
[A] So many a man's [E] soul unfazed.
And I was around [D] when Jesus Christ had [A] his moment [E] of dying pain.
Made damn sure [D] that Pilate [A] washed his hands and [E] sealed his fate.
[G#]
[B] Pleased to meet you.
Hope you guessed my [E] name.
But [B] what's puzzling you is the nature of my [E] game.
I stuck around [D] St.
Petersburg [A] when I saw it was time [E] for a change.
Killed the Tsar and [D] his ministers.
[A] Anastasia [E] screamed pain.
I rode a tank, [D] held a general's rank, [A] when the blitzkrieg raged [E] and the bodies stank.
[B]
Pleased to meet you.
Hope you guessed [E] my name.
But [B] what's puzzling you is the nature of [E] my game.
I watched with glee [D] while you kings and queens fought [A] for ten decades [E] for the gods they made.
I shouted out who [D] killed the Kennedys when [A] after all it was [E] you and me.
[D]
[G] [A] [E]
Let me please [D] introduce myself.
[A] I'm a man [E] of wealth and taste.
And I laid traps [D] for troubadours who [C#m] get [A] killed before you reach [E] Bombay.
[B] Pleased to meet you.
Hope you guessed [E] my name.
[B] But what's puzzling you is the nature [E] of my game.
[B] Pleased to meet you.
Hope you guessed my [E] name.
But [B] what's confusing you is the nature [E] of my game.
[D] [A]

[D] [A]
[Em] [E]
[D] [G] [A]
[E] Just as every cop [D] is a criminal and [A] all the sinners [E] saints have heads and tails, just [D] call me Lucifer, [A] cause I'm in need of some [E] restraint.
So if you meet me, [D] have some courtesy, [A] have some sympathy, have [E] some taste.
Use all you well [D]-learned politesse or [A] I'll lay your soul [E] to waste.
[B] Pleased to meet you.
Hope you guessed [E] my name.
[B] But what's puzzling you is the nature of [E] my game.

Come on baby, [D]
what's my name?
[A] Tell me honey, [E] what's my name?
[D]
[A] [E]
Have some sympathy.
[D]
[A] [E]
Tell me honey, [D] can you guess my name?
[A] You don't [E] want to blame.
Woohoo!
[D] Woohoo!
[G] [A] Can you guess my [E] name?
Woohoo!

Tell me honey, [A] can you guess my [E] name?
