Intro: C#

F#                            A#m         G#
Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this position Iʼve held
   A#m      G#               C#
It pays my way, and it corrodes my soul
         F#                   A#m     G#
I want to leave, you will not miss me
         A#m         G#          F#   C#
I want to Go down in musical history

F#                           A#m       G#
Frankly, Mr. Shankly, Iʼm a sickening wreck
             A#m    G#       C#
Iʼve got the 21st century breathing down my neck
             F#             A#m    G#
I must move fast, you understand me
             A#m      G#         F#                  C#
I want to Go down in celluloid history, Mr. Shankly

F#                 A#m G#
Fame, Fame, fatal Fame
            A#m      G#             C#
It can play hideous tricks on the brain
               F#
But still Iʼd rather be famous
     A#m           G#
Than righteous or holy
A#m           G#        F# C#
Any day, any day, any day

    F#                          A#m   G#
But sometimes Iʼd feel more fulfilled
       A#m            G#                  C#
Making Christmas cards with the mentally ill
          F#                  A#m G#
I want to live and I want to Love
          A#m                   G#           F#       C#
I want to catch something that I might be ashamed of

F#                            A#m          G#
Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this position Iʼve held
   A#m      G#             C#
It pays my way and it corrodes my soul
              F#                     A#m  G#
Oh, I didnʼt realise that you wrote poetry
         A#m                G#                 F#                C#
I didnʼt realise you wrote such bloody awful poetry, Mr. Shankly

F#                            A#m     G#
Frankly, Mr. Shankly, since you asked
          A#m        G#           C#
You are a flatulent pain in the arse
         F#             A#m G#
I didnʼt mean to be so rude
         A#m         G#            F#
Still, I must speak frankly, Mr. Shankly
                 C#
Oh, give us your money!
