C#m A
Life imitates the game of chess
B C#m
You can be the rook or the pawn
G# C#m
If you have the strategy that's best
B C#m
You can be the king or in this case the don
C#m A
It's easy to get knocked out of the game
B C#m
Depending on which way you want to play
G# C#m
You've got to have eyes in the back of your head
B C#m G# C#m
Now that we have that out of the way
[Chorus]
F#m
Rev up the Lincoln
C#m
And lets get to drinking some caffeino
G#
Lets go to nicolettis
G#7
Cause he makes a mean spaghetti sauce
C#m A G# C#m
I'm a connoisseur of the finer things in life
C#m G#
I'll take any flick with al pacino
C#m G# A B C#m G# C#m
I'm a man of respect and I prefer to be addressed as padrino
C#m A
If you're the type that likes to spill the beans
B C#m
You could be a stone in someone's shoe
G# C#m
You'll receive a kiss on each cheek
B C#m
Then you'll know that pretty soon the stone will be removed
C#m A
Everyone knows that crime doesn't pay
B C#m
It doesn't pay the taxes anyway
G# C#m
You've got to be slick if you don't want it to stick
B C#m G# C#m
Now that we have that out of the way
[Chorus]
F#m
Rev up the Lincoln
C#m
And lets get to drinking some caffeino
G#
Lets go to nicolettis
G#7
Cause he makes a mean spaghetti sauce
C#m A G# C#m
I'm a connoisseur of the finer things in life
C#m G#
I'll take any flick with al pacino
C#m G# A B C#m G# C#m
I'm a man of respect and I'm about to be addressed as padrino
C#m A
I know it's not a wise thing to do
B C#m
Writing funny songs about the mob
G# C#m
But if it's all the same to you
A G#
I don't see it as a gang but a club
F#m
Where men sit like gentlemen
C#m
Plotting their events about
F#m C#m
Things I shouldn't understand comprehend or care
F#m
Like...oh, I don't know maybe I shouldn't go there
C#m G# C#m G# C#m
After all it is a family affair
F#m
NC
Stay out of the papers
C#m
NC
Don't get caught
G# G#7 C#m
Leave the singing to Sinatra and always keep your big trap shut
G# C#m
Ca-pice?
C#m A
The underworld is like an undertow - if you don't respect it
B C#m
It will surely bring you down - when you least expect -
C#m G#
Hey expect it from all sides
G#7 C#m
Once you're in it it's for life
C#m A B C#m
Don't be famous be infamous and you will live to see another day
G# C#m
Be wise about with whom you discuss
B C#m
Now that we have that out of the way
[Chorus]
F#m
Rev up the Lincoln
C#m
And lets get to drinking some caffeino
G#
Lets go to nicolettis
G#7
Cause he makes a mean spaghetti sauce
C#m A G# C#m
I'm a connoisseur of the finer things in life
C#m G#
I'll take any flick with al pacino
C#m G# A B G#m G# C#m
I'm a man of respect and I'm about to be addressed as padrino
C#m G# A B C#m
I'm a man of respect and I'm about to be addressed as padrino
