Start Jamming...
[E] Please allow me [D] to introduce myself, [A] a man of [E] wealth and taste.
I've been around [D] for many long years, [A] told many men, sold [E] and paid.
Was around [D] when Jesus Christ, at [A] his moment, died [E] and prayed.
Made a damn [D] sure a pilot, [A] washed his hair, [E] sealed his fate.
[B] Pleased to meet you, and I hope you'll [E] cast my name.
[B] Most of us ain't new, here's a nation [E] I've gained.
[E]
I stuck around [D] St.
Petersburg, [A] I noticed it was time for a change.
Warned [D] the Don and minister, and [A] the stage just screamed [E] in pain.
I wrote a [B] time in [D] general's rank, [A] my blistering brains can't [E] abide in state.
[B] Pleased to meet you, and I hope you'll cast my name.
[E]
[B] Most of us ain't new, here's a nation [E] I've gained.
Oh now, I once would glee while [D] your kings and queens [G] [A] fought for ten decades [E] for the gods they made.
Shouted out who killed [D]
Kennedy, [A] when after all man [E] is you and me.
Let me please [D] introduce myself, [A] I'm a man of wealth [E]
and taste.
I live trying to [D] expose super dogs, who get [A] beautiful and rich, [E] I'm a man.
[B] Pleased to meet you, and I hope you'll cast my [E] name.
Most [B] of us ain't new, here's a nation I've gained.

[B] Pleased to meet you, and I hope you'll cast [E] my name.
Cause [B] what's worse than you is the nature of [E] my game.
[E] Just as every cop is [D] a criminal, [A] all your sinners [E] are saints.
The Hatchet's tales [D] call me Lucifer, [A] cause I'm need of some [E] restraint.
So if you meet me, please [D] have a little courtesy, [A] some sympathy, some [E] hesitation.
Use all your [D] will and politics, [A] while I lay your [E] soul to waste.
[B] Pleased to meet you, and I hope you'll [E] cast my name.
[B] What's troubling you is the nature of my [E] game.
