Frankly Mr Shankly

[Verse 1]
F
Frankly, Mister Shankly,
       Am              G
this position I've held
   Am          G          C
It pays my way, and it corrodes my soul
         F                    Am     G
I want to leave, you will not miss me
            Am        G            F
I want to go  down in musical history
C F
  Frankly, Mister Shankly,
      Am             G
I'm a sickening wreck
             Am              G     C
I've got the twenty first century breathing down my neck
           F               Am      G
I must move fast, you understand me
             Am      G              F
I want to go down in celluloid history,
Mister Shankly

[Verse 2]
F                     Am G
Fame, fame, fatal fame
            Am            G            C
It can play hideous tricks on the brain
              F
But still I'd rather be famous
     Am           G     Am           G
Than righteous or holy, any day, any day,
       F
any day
C    F                                Am G
 But sometimes I'd feel more fulfilled
       Am             G                  C
Making Christmas cards with the mentally ill
          F                      Am G
I want to live and I want to love
               Am                G                F  C
I want to catch  something that I might be ashamed of

[Verse 3]
F
Frankly, Mister Shankly,
       Am              G
this position I've held
   Am          G          C
It pays my way, and it corrodes my soul
Oh,
         F                      Am    G
I didn't realise that you wrote poetry
         Am                G                 F
I didn't realise you wrote such bloody awful poetry,
Mister Shankly
C F
  Frankly, Mister Shankly,
         Am   G
since you  ask
          Am            G           C
You are a flatulent pain in the arse
         F                 Am G
I do not mean to be so rude
         Am         G
Still, I must speak frankly,
       F
Mister Shankly
                 C
Oh, give us your money!
