E            D         A        E
Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste

             D            A             E
I've been around for long, long years I've stolen many a man's soul and faith

           D         A/C# A        E
I was around when Jesus Christ had His moment of doubt and pain

           D         A/C# A         E Esus4 E
I made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed his fate



B                   A E    A/E E
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name,

      B        E/B B      A  E  Esus4 E
but what's puzzling you, is the nature of my game



         D         A              E
Stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was a time for a change

            D        A/C# A        E
Killed the Tzar and his ministers; Anastasia screamed in vain

            D            A/C#  A
I rode a tank held a general's rank when the blitzkrieg raged

     E       Esus4  E
and the bodies stank



B                   A E    A/E E
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, Oh  yeah

     B        E/B B        E  A/E  E
Ah what's puzzling you, is the nature of my game




E                 D              A/C# A         E
 I watched with glee while your kings and queens fought for ten  decades for the gods they made

Esus4 E              D        A/C#       E      Esus4  E
  I shouted out, "Who killed the Kennedys?" when after all it was you and me

            D       A/C# A         E  Esus E
Let me please introduce myself I'm a man  of wealth and taste

           D          A/C#             E    Esus4  E
And I laid traps for troubadours who get killed before they reached Bombay


B                   A E    Esus4  E
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name,  Oh   yeah

      B        E/B B      A  E  A/E  E
But what's puzzling you, is the nature of my game       Well get down

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
