[Intro]
D
 
 
[Verse 1]
F                            Cm         G
Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this position I've held 
   Cm     G               C
It pays my way, and it corrodes my soul
          F                   Cm      G
I want to leave, you will not miss me 
          Cm        G          F        C
I want to go down in musical history 
 
 
[Verse 2]
F                           Cm       G
Frankly, Mr. Shankly, I'm a sickening wreck 
             Cm   G       C
I've got the 21st century breathing down my neck 
             F             Cm      G
I must move fast, you understand me 
             Cm     G         F
I want to go down in celluloid history, Mr. Shankly 
 
[Bridge]
 
 
[Verse 3]
F                 Cm    G
Fame, Fame, fatal Fame 
            Cm     G             C
It can play hideous tricks on the brain
               F
But still I'd rather be famous 
     Cm          G
Than righteous or holy 
Cm          G        F        C
Any day, any day, any day 
 
 
[Verse 4]
    F                          Cm      G
But sometimes I'd feel more fulfilled 
       Cm            G                  C
Making Christmas cards with the mentally ill 
          F                  Cm     G
I want to live and I want to Love 
          Cm                  G           F          C
I want to catch something that I might be ashamed of 
 
 
[Verse 5]
F                            Cm         G
Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this position I've held 
   Cm     G             C
It pays my way and it corrodes my soul 
              F                     Cm    G
Oh, I didn't realise that you wrote poetry 
         Cm               G                 F                     C
I didn't realise you wrote such bloody awful poetry, Mr. Shankly 
 
 
[Verse 6]
F                            Cm    G
Frankly, Mr. Shankly, since you ask 
          Cm       G           C
You are a flatulent pain in the arse 
         F             Cm   G
I didn't mean to be so rude 
         Cm        G            F
Still, I must speak frankly, Mr. Shankly 
                 C
Oh, give us your money !
