Frankly, Mr. Shankly Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[F]Frankly, Mr. Shankly,
this po[Am]sition I've [G]held
It [Am]pays my [G]way, and it cor[C]rodes my soul
I want [F]to leave, you will not [Am]miss [G]me
I want to [Am]go down in m[G]usical h[F]istory
[C]

[Verse 2]
[F]Frankly, Mr. Shankly,
I'm a [Am]sickening [G]wreck
I've got the [Am]twenty first [G]century
[C]breathing down my neck
I must [F]move fast, you under[Am]stand [G]me
I want to [Am]go down in c[G]elluloid h[F]istory,

[Bridge 1]
[F]Fame, fame, fatal [Am]fame[G]
It can play [Am]hideous [G]tricks on the [C]brain
But still I'd [F]rather be famous
Than [Am]righteous or [G]holy
[Am]Any day, any d[G]ay, any [F]day[C]

[Bridge 2]
But [F]sometimes I feel more ful[Am]filled[G]
Making [Am]Christmas cards
[G]with the mentally ill[C]
I want to [F]live and I want to [Am]love
[G]I want to cat[Am]ch something
that [G]I might be as[F]hamed o[C]f

[Verse 3]
[F]Frankly, Mr. Shankly,
this po[Am]sition I've [G]held
It [Am]pays my [G]way, and it cor[C]rodes my soul
Oh, I didn't [F]realise
that you wrote [Am]poetry[G]
I didn't [Am]realise you wrote
[G]such bloody awful [F]poetry, Mr. [C]Shankly

[Verse 4]
[F]Frankly, Mr. Shankly, since [Am]you [G]ask
You are a [Am]flatulent [G]pain in the [C]ass
I do not [F]mean to be so [Am]rude
[G]Still, I mus[Am]t speak fra[G]nkly, Mr. Sha[F]nkly
Oh, give us your [C]money
