Sympathy For The Devil Chords

[Verse 1]
E 
  Please allow me to introduce myself

I'm a man of wealth and taste
E 
  I've been around for a long, long year

Stole many a man's soul and faith
 
 
[Intro]
E 
  I was 'round when Jesus Christ

Had his moment of doubt and pain
E 
  Made damn sure that Pilate

Washed his hands and sealed his fate
 
 
[Chorus]
B 
Pleased to meet you
                  E
Hope you guess my name
 
 
[Verse 3]
E                  D
I stuck around St. Petersburg
       A                       E
When I saw it was a time for a change
                        D
Killed the Tzar and his ministers
      A               E
Anastasia screamed in vain
 
 
[Verse 4]
E
I rode a tank
D
Held a general's rank
         A
When the blitzkrieg raged
        E
And the bodies stank
 
 
[Chorus]
B
Pleased to meet you
                  E
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
           B
But what's puzzling you
                    E
Is the nature of my game
 
 
[Verse 5]
E
I watched with glee
           D
While your kings and queens
           A
Fought for ten decades
        E
For the gods they made
 
 
[Verse 6]
E
I shouted out
                D
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
     A
When after all
       E
It was you and me
 
 
[Verse 7]
E                  D
Let me please introduce myself
      A                 E
I'm a man of wealth and taste
                 D
I laid traps for troubadours
        A                           E
Who get killed before they reach Bombay
 
 
[Chorus]
B
Pleased to meet you
                    E
Hope you guessed my name
           B
But what's puzzling you
                    E
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, hit it

[Chorus]
B
Pleased to meet you
                    E
Hope you guessed my name
           B
But what's confusing you
                         E
Is just the nature of my game
 
 
[Verse 8]
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
 
 
[Verse 9]
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, yeah
 
 
[Chorus]
B
Pleased to meet you
                    E
Hope you guessed my name
           B
But what's confusing you
                         E
Is just the nature of my game
E
Um mean it, get down
