Sympathy for the Devil

E                       D
Please allow me to introduce myself
A                 E
I'm a man of wealth and taste
E                      D
I've been around for a long, long year
A                           E
Stole many a man's soul and faith

E                     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

B
Pleased to meet you
E
Hope you guess my name
B
But what's puzzling you
A            E
Is the nature of my game

E                  D
I stuck around St. Petersburg
A                       E
When I saw it was a time for a change
D
Killed the Czar and his ministers
A                 E
Anastasia screamed in vain

E
I rode a tank
D
Held a general's rank
A
When the Blitzkrieg raged
E
And the bodies stank

B
Pleased to meet you
E
Hope you guess my name
B
But what's puzzling you
A            E
Is the nature of my game
E
I watched with glee
D
While your kings and queens
A
Fought for ten decades
E
For the Gods they made

E
I shouted out
D
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
A
When after all
E
It was you and me

E                  D
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

B
Pleased to meet you
E
Hope you guess my name
B
But what's puzzling you
A            E
Is the nature of my game
E
Oh yeah, get down, baby

Solo

B
Pleased to meet you
E
Hope you guess my name
B
But what's puzzling you
A            E
Is the nature of my game

E              D
Just as every cop is a criminal
A               E
And all the sinners saints
E
As heads is tails
D
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

B
Pleased to meet you
E
