Standard Tuning - 4/4 Time
Verse 1:
-------

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
E                   D
Made damn sure that Pilate
           A                    E    E
Washed his hands and sealed his fate


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

 
Verse 2:
-------

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
 
I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the Blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
 

Chorus:
------

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


Verse 3:
-------

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

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

Verse 4:
------

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

Chorus:
------

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

oh yeah, get down, baby
 

Solo: ( Verse chords)
 

Chorus:
------

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


Verse:
-----

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
 
So if you meet me Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah

Chorus:
------

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
um baby, get down


Outro:
-----

Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, baby guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah
What's my name
Tell me, baby, what's my name
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah
