[Verse]
E                   D 
Please allow me to introduce myself

      A                  E 
I'm a man of wealth and taste

                        D 
I've been around for a long, long year

       A                     E 
Stole many a man's soul and faith

                       D 
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ

         A                   E 
Had his moment of doubt and pain

                     D 
Made damn sure that Pilate

            A                    E 
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
[Chorus]
B 
Pleased to meet you

                   E 
Hope you guess my name

              B 
But what's puzzling you

         B          E 
Is the nature of my game
[Verse]
E                       D 
I stuck around St. Petersberg

         A                       E 
When I saw it was a time for a change

                      D 
I killed the Czar and his ministers

   A                   E 
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
        D 
Held a general's rank

          A 
When the Blitzkrieg raged

          E 
And the bodies stank
[Chorus]
B       
Pleased to meet you

                   E 
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah

          B                              E               
What's puzzling you is the nature of my game, oh yeah
[Verse]
E                            D 
I watched with glee as your kings and queens

            A 
Fought for ten decades

         E 
For the Gods they made
I shouted out
                D 
"Who killed the Kennedy?"

      A 
When after all

        E 
It was you and me

                    D 
So let me please introduce myself

       A                  E 
I'm a man of wealth and taste

                       D 
And I laid traps for troubadours

          A                         E 
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
[Chorus]
B 
Pleased to meet you

                     E 
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah

              B                              E 
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game, oh yeah
[Solo] E D A E x4 [Chorus]
B 
Pleased to meet you

                      E 
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah

             B                                    E 
But what's puzzling you is just the nature of my game
[Bridge]
E                      D 
Just as every cop is a criminal

     A                E 
And all the sinners saints

                                 D 
As heads is tails just call me Lucifer

               A              E 
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

E 
So if you meet me

             D 
Have some courtesy

              A               E 
Have some sympathy, and some taste

                            D 
Use all your well-learned politesse?

         A                 E 
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
[Chorus]
B 
Pleased to meet you

                     E 
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah

               B                             E 
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game, oh baby

    D   A  E 
Oh yeah
EB D Tell me baby, what's my name
