Intro: D D G A

Verse:
          D                                D D G A
Well they put me out on the old Kings Road
D                             D D G A
I didn't know which way to go
          D                                                D D G A
There was people all around wearin' funny lookin' clothes
     D                                    D D G A
Some boys, some girls, some I don't know

G
I didn't know which way to go
D(stop)                                    D D G A
I'm a new world boy on the old Kings Road

Rockabilly music was in the air
I looked in the door, they said "come over here"
They had socks and shirts and underwear
That I'd seen before, but I don't know where

I didn't know which way to go
I'm a new world boy on the old Kings Road

Break: G G G/F# Em
       Em/F# G A

A Pakistani man said "listen here
Let me fix you up before you go back there
You can't get 'em in the USA
Not in New York, not in West LA"
I thought about it, said "I don't know"
I'm a new world boy on the old Kings Road

REPEAT BREAK
                    D D G A
On the old Kings Road
             D D G A
Old Kings Road

(REPEAT AD-LIB TO END, END ON D)
