  E                      D
Please allow me to introduce myself
       A                 E
I'm a man of wealth and taste
E                       D
I've been around for a long, long year
  A                          E
Stole many a man's soul and faith

    E                  D
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
         A                   E
Had his moment of doubt and pain
                     D
Made damn sure that Pilate
            A                    E
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

      B
    Pleased to meet you
                       E
    Hope you guess my name
                B
    But what's puzzling you
            A            E
    Is the nature of my game

    E               D
I stuck around St. Petersburg
        A                        E
When I saw it was a time for a change
                         D
Killed the Czar and his ministers
     A                 E
Anastasia screamed in vain

   E
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
                       E
    Hope you guess my name
                B
    But what's puzzling you
            A            E
    Is the nature of my game

   E
I watched with glee
            D
While your kings and queens
            A
Fought for ten decades
         E
For the Gods they made

    E
I shouted out
                 D
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
     A
When after all
       E
It was you and me

 E                  D
Let me please introduce myself
       A                 E
I'm a man of wealth and taste
                       D
And I laid traps for troubadours
         A                             E
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

      B
    Pleased to meet you
                       E
    Hope you guess my name
                B
    But what's puzzling you
            A            E
    Is the nature of my game
       E
    Oh yeah, get down, baby

      B
    Pleased to meet you
                       E
    Hope you guess my name
                B
    But what's puzzling you
            A            E
    Is the nature of my game

        E                D
Just as every cop is a criminal
    A                E
And all the sinners saints
    E
As heads is tails
              D
Just call me Lucifer
               A                E
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

           E
So if you meet me
           D
Have some courtesy
           A                  E
Have some sympathy, and some taste
                           D
Use all your well-learned politesse
         A                E
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah

      B
    Pleased to meet you
                       E
    Hope you guess my name
                B
    But what's puzzling you
            A            E
    Is the nature of my game
        E
