  -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

-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

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

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

-5 6  -5   6   6

 6    6   -6*  6  -5
Have some cour-te-sy

Have some sym-pa-thy, and some taste 
 7   7*  -5   6      6     6 -5  -5
Use all your well-learned pol-i-tesse
