King of the World
By Dan Bern
Transcribed by Justin
capo two
E C B7
E
Well, they elected me king of the world
C E
I said, "Here's what I'm gonna do
E
Send everybody over to China
C
Except for me and you
E
Strip ourselves naked, go to Beverly Center
C B7
Watch movies and eat Cinnabons"
E
I think I'm gonna like
C B7
Being king of the world
E C B7
For a change
E
They said, "As king of the world you can have anything
C E
Your greedy royal heart desires"
E
I said, "All I really want is some wide open space
C
Where I can set forest fires
E
I want peace and quiet, I want nudity
C B7
I want sex and wine and love"
E
They said "So let it be written, your highness,
C B7
So let it be done"
A
I am the king, the king of the world
E
It could have been you but it's me
A
I'm suprised you didn't hear about it, it was on the cover of newsweek
C B7
November 1993
E
As king of the world I'll occasionally go
C E
To China to visit you guys
E
You don't have to be afraid, I don't need you to bow down
C
I'm not God, I'm just the king, I realize
E
Well, it might be nice though if you'd kiss me feet
C
And call me, "All knowing leader of men"
E
If you were king of the world
C B7
I'm sure you'd want the same
E
For yourself
A
I am the king of the world
E
King of the world
A
Can you believe my luck
C B7
I'm king of the world
