Intro: B

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

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

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

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

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

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