Sympathy For The Devil

Jagger, Richards / The Rolling Stones

F D# A# F
Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste.
D# A# F
I've been around for long, long years, stolen many a man's soul and faith.
D# A# F
I was 'round when Jesus Christ had his moments of doubt and pain.
D# A# F
Made damn' sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed his fate.

Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name,
C F
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game!
 
I stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was the time for a change. 
Killed the Tsar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain. 
I rode a tank, held a general's rank, when the blitzkrieg raged, and the bodies stank. 
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, 
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game! 
 
I watched with glee how your kings and queens fought for ten decades for the gods they made. 
I shouted out: "Who killed the Kennedys?", when after all, it was you and me. 
Let me please introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste, 
And I lay traps for troubadours, who get killed before they reach Bombay. 
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, 
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game!

(solo)
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, 
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game! 
Just as every cop is a criminal, and all the sinners saints. 
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer, 'cos I'm in need of some restraint. 
So if you meet me have some courtesy, have sympathy and some taste. 
Use all your well-learned politesse, or I'll lay your soul to waste. 
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, 
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game!
