A I'm a E man of wealth and taste.
_ I've been around for D a long, long year.
A Stole many a E man's soul today.
_ .
_ _ I was round for a long, long year.
I was round D when Jesus Christ A had his moment.
A#m I E was named.
_ _ Made damn D sure the pilot washed A his hands N and sealed E his face.

E Hope you guessed my name.
_ .
_ _ _ B But what was left of you is the nature of E my game.
_ .
_ _ _ _ _ Stuck around D St.
Petersburg when A I saw it was a time E for change.
_ _ Killed the czar D and his ministers and A the C# stages.
E Speak today.
_ _ I rode a tank, D held a tender as rank, C# when the fifth street rang Dm E and the finest sang.
_ _ _ .
_ B _ Pleased to meet you.
Hope you guessed E my name.
_ _ But _ B what was left of you is the nature of E my game.
_ _ _ _ .
I _ was reclaimed D by kings and queens, A bought with tender case Gm E for the God-saved name.
I shouted out, who D killed those Kennedy's?.
A When after all, D# E it was you and me.
_ _ Let me please D introduce myself.
G I'm a man of wealth E and taste.
_ .
_ _ I lay traps D for troubadours A who get killed before they E reach my name.

Hope you guessed E my name.

Just as every cop D is a criminal, A so _ E is every thief.
_ .
_ As headless thieves D just call me lucifer, C# cause A I'm in need of some E restraint.
