[Ab] [Eb]
Please allow me [Db] to introduce myself.
[Ab] I'm a man of wealth [Eb] and taste.
Been around [Db] for a long, long year, [Ab] so many man's [Eb] souls waste.
I was around [Db] when Jesus Christ, [Ab] at his moment of doubt and pain,
made damn sure [Db] the pilot [Ab] washed his hands and [Eb] said his fate.
[Bb] Pleased to meet you.
Hope you guessed [Eb] my name.
Cause [Bb] what's confusing you is just the nature of [Eb] my day.
I stuck around [Db] St.
Peter's Village [Ab] when I saw it was a time [Eb] for change.
I killed a Tsar [Db] and his ministers, [Ab] Anastasia [Eb] screamed in vain.
I wrote a song [Db] in a general's ring [Ab] when the blitzkrieg nukes [Eb] and the bodies stank.
