-4 -4 -4 -4 -3 -4 -3 -4 -3 -3
Please al-low me to in-tro-duce my-self
-3 -3 -3 -3 -3 3* -4
I’m a man of wealth and taste
2 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 4* -4 -3
I’ve been a-round for a long, long year
-3 -3 -3 3* -3 -3 3* -4
Stole man-y a man’s soul and faith

-4 -4 -4 -4 -4 4* -4 -3
I was a-round when Je-sus Christ
-3 -3 -3 -3 2 -3 3* -4
Had his mo-ment of doubt and pain
-4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -3
Made damn sure that Pi-late
-3 -3 -3 2 -4 3 -4 2
Washed his hands and sealed His fate

6 -4 -5* -5*
Pleased to meet you
-6* 5* 6 6 65*-4
Hope you guess my name
-6* -5 -5 -3 -4
But what’s puz-zling you
-4 -4 -6* -4 -3 -3 3*-4
Is the na-ture of my game

-4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -3 -3
Stuck a-round St. Pe-ters-burg
-3 -3 -3 -3 -3 3* -3 -3 3* -4
When I saw it was a time for a change
-4 -4 -4 -4 4* -4 -3 -3
Killed the Tzar and his min-is-ters
-3 3* -3 2 -3 3* -4
An-a-sta-sia screamed in vain
-4 6 6 6 6 6 6 -5 -5
I rode a tank held a gen-‘ral’s rank
-5 -5 6 6 6
When the Blitz-krieg raged
6 5* 6 6 5*-4
And the bod-ies stank

6 -4 -5* -5*
Pleased to meet you

Is the na-ture of my game, oh yeah

-4 6 -5 6
I watched with glee
6 6 6 -5 -5
While your kings and queens
6 5* 6 6 6
Fought for ten dec-ades
6 5* 6 6 5*-4
For the gods they made
6 7 6 6
I shout-ed out,
7 6 6 6 -5 -5
“Who killed the Ken-ne-dys?”
6 5* 7 6 6 6 -5 6 6 5*-4
When af-ter all It was you and me

7 6 6 6 6 -6* 6 -5
Let me please in-tro-duce my-self
7 6 6 6 7 6 -5 -5 6
I’m a man of wealth and taste
-5 7 6 6 6 6 -5 -5
And I lay traps for trou-ba-dours
7 6 6 -5 6 -5 6 6 6-5*-4
Who get killed be-fore they reach Bom-bay

-6* -5 -6* -6*
Pleased to meet you

-5* -5* -5* 7* 6 7* 6 7 -5
Is just the na-ture of my game

-6* 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 -5 -5
Just as ev-‘ry cop is a crim-i-nal
-5 7 -5 6 6 7*
And all the sin-ners saints
-5 7 6 6
As heads is tails
6 6 6 -6* -5 -5
Just call me Lu-ci-fer
-5 6 -5 -6* 6 6 6 7*
‘Cause I’m in need of some re-straint

-5 6 -5 6 6
So if you meet me
6 6 -6* 6 -5
Have some cour-te-sy
6 -5 7 -5 6 6 -5 6
Have some sym-pa-thy, and some taste
7 7* -5 6 6 6 -5 -5
Use all your well-learned pol-i-tesse
-5 -5 7 -5 6 -5 6
Or I’ll lay your soul to waste,

7 -5* 7 7
Pleased to meet you
7 6 7 6 6

But what’s puz-zling you
