SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL  (Rolling Stones)
  
 
 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 long, long years
       A                           E
I've stolen many a man's soul and faith
E                  D               
I was around when Jesus Christ
         A                     E
had His moments of doubt and pain
E                      D 
I made damn sure that Pilate washed
      A                    E
his hands and sealed his fate
  B                                     E  
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name,
            B                                 E
but what's puzzling you, is the nature of my game


E                   D    
I stuck around St. Petersburg 
        A                     E  
when I saw it was time for a change
E                          D         
I killed the Tzar and his ministers,
     A                  E
Anastasia screamed in vain
E                      D      
I rode a tank, held a gen'ral's rank,
                     A                    E
When the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank
  B                                     E
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name,
            B                                 E
but what's puzzling you, is the nature of my game


E                               D
I watched with glee while your kings and queens,
                A                         E
fought for ten decades for the gods they made
E                              D   
I shouted out "Who killed the Kennedys?",
            A                 E 
when after all it was you and me
E                      D   
So let me please introduce myself,
        A                 E
I am a man of wealth and taste
 E                    D  
And I lay traps for troubadours,
         A                           E
who get killed before they reach Bombay
  B                                     E   
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name,
            B                                 E 
but what's puzzling you, is the nature of my game
  B                                     E
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name,
               B                                    E
but what's confusing you, is just the nature of my game

E                     D
Just as every cop is criminal,
     A                 E   
and all the sinners, Saints
E                                D
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer,
                A               E
'cause I'm in need of some restraint
E                              D
So if you meet me, have some courtesy,
           A                 E  
have some sympathy and some taste
 E                           D    
Use all your well-learned politeness,
         A                E 
or I'll lay your soul to waste
  B                                     E
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name,
            B                                 E
