Sympathy For the Devil chords
The Rolling Stones *

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

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

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

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

 E MajorE
I rode a tank
    D MajorD
Held a general's rank
     A augmentedA
When the Blitzkrieg raged
    E MajorE
And the bodies stank


BB
Pleased to meet you
         E MajorE
Hope you guess my name
      BB
But what's puzzling you
    A augmentedA      E MajorE
Is the nature of my game
 E MajorE
I watched with glee
      D MajorD
While your kings and queens
      A augmentedA
Fought for ten decades
    E MajorE
For the Gods they made

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

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

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

solo

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

    E MajorE       D MajorD
Just as every cop is a criminal
  A augmentedA        E MajorE
And all the sinners saints

As heads is tails
       D MajorD
Just call me Lucifer
       A augmentedA       E MajorE
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

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

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

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
