Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this position I've held

Fame, Fame, fatal Fame

It can play hideous tricks on the brain

               G
But still I'd rather be famous

Than righteous or holy

Any day, any day, any day

Making Christmas cards with the mentally ill

          G                  B#m     A
I want to live and I want to Love

          B#m                  A           G          D
I want to catch something that I might be ashamed of

It pays my way and it corrodes my soul

              G                     B#m    A
Oh, I didn't realise that you wrote poetry

G                            B#m    A
Frankly, Mr. Shankly, since you ask

          B#m       A           D
You are a flatulent pain in the arse

         G             B#m   A
I didn't mean to be so rude

         B#m        A            G
Still, I must speak frankly, Mr. Shankly
