Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Eb                      Db
Please allow me to introduce myself
         Ab                   Eb
I'm a man  of wealth and taste
                            Db
I've been around for a long,  long year
      Ab                        Eb
Stole many a man's soul to waste
                      Db
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
        Ab                      Eb
Had his moment of doubt and pain
                      Db              Ab
Made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed
   Eb
his  fate

[Chorus]
Bb
  Pleased to meet you
                      Eb5
Hope you guess my name
              Bb
But what's confusing you
                             Eb5
Is just the nature of my game

[Verse 2]
Eb                   Db
  I stuck around St. Petersburg
       Ab                      Eb
When I saw it was a time for a change
                          Db
I killed the Tsar and his ministers,
   Ab                 Eb
Anastasia screamed in vain
                        Db
I rode a tank, held a general's rank
              Ab                  Eb
When the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank

[Chorus]
Bb
  Pleased to meet you
                      Eb5
Hope you guess my name
             Bb
Cause what's puzzling you
                             Eb5
Is just the nature of my game
Come on
Come on
Come on

Ah yeah, but what's confusing you
                             Eb5
Is just the nature of my game

[Verse 3]
Eb                               Db
  I watched with glee while your kings and queens
           Ab                  Eb
Fought for ten decades for the gods they made
                              Db
I shouted out, who killed the Kennedys?
     Ab                Eb
When after all, it was you and me
                        Db
Let me, please introduce  myself
         Ab                   Eb
I'm a man  of wealth and taste
                         Db
And I laid traps for the troubadours
        Ab                               Eb
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

[Chorus]
Bb
  Pleased to meet you
                         Eb
Hope you guessed my name,  oh yeah
              Bb
But what's confusing you
                               Eb
It's just the nature of my game

[Verse 4]
        Eb             Db           Ab                    Eb
Just as every cop is a criminal and all the sinners saints
                               Db
As heads is tails, just call me  Lucifer
             Ab                    Eb
Cause I'm in need of some restraint
                             Db
So if you meet me, have some courtesy
          Ab                Eb
Have some sympathy and some taste
                        Db                   Ab
Use all your welllearned  politeness or I'll lay your soul
   Eb
to waste
Oh yeah

[Chorus]
Bb
  Pleased to meet you
                         Eb
Hope you guessed my name,  Ohh yeah
           Bb
But what's puzzling you
                             Eb
Is just the nature of my game
Ah yeah, Get down
