Frankly Mr Shankly

C

[Verse 1]

F                            Am  
Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this 
       G
position I've held
   Am      G               C
It pays my way, and it corrodes my 
soul
          F                   Am  
I want to leave, you will not miss
     G
 me
          Am         G          F
I want to go down in musical 
        C
history


[Verse 2]

F                         
Frankly, Mr. Shankly, I'm a 
  Am       G
sickening wreck
             Am    G       C
I've got the 21st century breathing 
down my neck
             F             Am     
I must move fast, you understand 
  G
me
             Am      G       
I want to go down in celluloid 
  F                            C
history, Mr. Shankly

[Verse 3]

F                 Am     G
Fame, fame, fatal fame
            Am      G             
It can play hideous tricks on the 
C
brain
               F
But still I'd rather be famous
     Am           G
Than righteous or holy
Am           G        F        C
Any day, any day, any day


[Verse 4]

    F                      
But sometimes I'd feel more

fulfilled
       Am            G        
Making Christmas cards with the

mentally ill
          F                  Am   
I want to live and I want to love
   G

          Am                   
I want to catch something that I 
G           F          C
might be ashamed of


[Verse 5]

F                            Am  
Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this 
        G
position I've held
   Am      G             C
It pays my way and it corrodes my 
soul
              F                    
Oh, I didn't realise that you wrote
 Am     G
 poetry
         Am                G  
I didn't realise you wrote such 
               F                   
bloody awful poetry, Mr. Shankly
  C



[Verse 6]

F                            
Frankly, Mr. Shankly, since you 
Am     G
asked
          Am        G           C
You are a flatulent pain in the arse
         F             Am    G
I didn't mean to be so rude
         Am         G            
Still, I must speak frankly, Mr. 
F
Shankly
                 C
Oh, give us your money!
