              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 fate 
               E                             D 
               I was 'round when Jesus Christ  
                               A                               E 
              Had his moments of doubt and pain 
              E                                 D 
              Made damn sure that Pilate 
                                  A                               E 
              Washed his hands and sealed his fate  
               B                   
              Pleased to meet you

              E                              D 
              I stuck around St. Petersberg 
                          A                                   E

               E                                  D 
              Killed the Czar and his minister 
              A                                           E 
              Anas Anastasia screamed in vain  
               E                              D               
              I rode a tank, held a General's rank 
               A   
              When the Blitzkrieg raged 
                                        E
