Frankly, Mr. Shankly Tab par Smiths

E (let ring)

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


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


  A              C#m     B
Fame, Fame, fatal Fame 
          C#m       B            E
It can play hideous tricks on the brain 
             A           
But still I'd rather be Famous 
      C#m           B  C#m
Than righteous or holy, any day 
B           A      E
Any day, any day 


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


    A                          C#m           B
Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this position I've held 
   C#m       B              E
It pays my way and it corrodes my soul 
             A                       C#m     B
Oh, I didn't realise that you wrote poetry 
          C#m            B                  A                 E
I didn't realise you wrote such bloody awful poetry, Mr. Shankly 


    A                         C#m    B
Frankly, Mr. Shankly, since you ask 
          C#m       B           E
You are a flatulent pain in the arse 
          A                C#m    B
I do not mean to be so rude 
         C#m            B          A 
Still, I must speak frankly, Mr. Shankly 
                 E
Oh, give us your money !
