Transcribed by Craig Ablitt
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
F Cm G Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this position I've held Cm G C It pays my way, and it corrodes my soul F Cm G I want to leave, you will not miss me Cm G F C I want to go down in musical history
[Verse 2]
F Cm G Frankly, Mr. Shankly, I'm a sickening wreck Cm G C I've got the 21st century breathing down my neck F Cm G I must move fast, you understand me Cm G F I want to go down in celluloid history, Mr. Shankly
[Bridge]
[Verse 3]
F Cm G Fame, Fame, fatal Fame Cm G C It can play hideous tricks on the brain F But still I'd rather be famous Cm G Than righteous or holy Cm G F C Any day, any day, any day
[Verse 4]
F Cm G But sometimes I'd feel more fulfilled Cm G C Making Christmas cards with the mentally ill F Cm G I want to live and I want to Love Cm G F C I want to catch something that I might be ashamed of
[Verse 5]
F Cm G Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this position I've held Cm G C It pays my way and it corrodes my soul F Cm G Oh, I didn't realise that you wrote poetry Cm G F C I didn't realise you wrote such bloody awful poetry, Mr. Shankly
[Verse 6]
F Cm G Frankly, Mr. Shankly, since you ask Cm G C You are a flatulent pain in the arse F Cm G I didn't mean to be so rude Cm G F Still, I must speak frankly, Mr. Shankly C Oh, give us your money !
