King of the World

Steely Dan

[Am7] Hello [Bm7] one and[E]all 
[Am7] Was it [Bm7] you I[E]used to know? 
[Am7] Can't you [Bm7] hear me[E]call 
[Am7] On this [Bm7] old ham[E]radio? 
[Am7] All I've [Bm7] got to[E] say 
[Am7] I'm [Bm7] alive and [E] feeling fine 
[Am7] Should you[Bm7] come [E] my way 
[Am7] You can[Bm7] share my [E] poison wine 

[Bm7]No marigolds in the promised [CMaj7] land, 
[C]There's a hole in the [G] ground where they[D]used to grow 
[Bm7]Any man left on the[CMaj7] Rio Grande 
[Em7]Is the[D]king of the world as far as[A]I know 

I won't take your bread 
I don't need no helping hand 
I can't be no savage 
I can't be no highwayman 
Show me where you are 
You and I can will this day 
Driving in my car 
Through the ruins of Santa Fe 

[Chorus] 

[Instrumental break]

[Am7I'm reading[Em7]last years papers 
[Am7]Although[Em7]I don't know why 
[Am7]Assassins, cons and[Em7]rapers 
[C]Might as[G]well[A]die 

When you come around 
No more pain and no regrets 
Watch the sun go brown 
Smoking cobalt cigarettes 

There's no need to hide 
Taking things the easy way 
If I stay inside 
I might live till Saturday 

No marigolds in the promised land 
There's a hole in the ground where they used to grow 
Any man left of the Rio Grande 
Is the king of the world 
King of the world as far as I know 

You know it is.....THANKS! (leroy777@mindspring.com)
