King Of The World


Here's another standard-tuned version, with much easier chords than the E version, but the capo set rather high (4). If you just have to play in standard tuning, in the key of the album track, I recommend this one. King of the World Point of Grace Tuning: Standard, Capo 4 (true key: Gb Major) Time: 3/4, Tempo: ~150bpm (~50 counted in “one”) Intro: D D/E D/F# G D D/E D/F# G2 [Verse 1:] D D/E D/F# G Spinning around on the tops of his feet, D D/E D/F# G Smiles of the angels could not be so sweet. A Bm D/F# G Wide blue eyes and piggy tail swirls Em7 D/F# G2 She’s her daddy's girl. [Verse 2:] D D/E D/F# G ‘Cause he knows the jokes that always make her laugh D D/E D/F# G Takes her for ice cream instead of her nap. A Bm D/F# G At the end of the day by the light of the moon, Em7 Asus4 A They turn up the music in their living room, and she yells [Chorus:] D/F# G A Bm D/F# G A Bm Dance me, dance me around, ‘till my feet don’t ever touch down! Em7 D/F# G A ‘Cause there’s nothing better than being your girl, Em7 D/F# G And if I am your princess, then daddy, Asus4 A D D/E D/F# G You are the king of the world. D D/E D/F# G [Verse 3:] D D/E D/F# G It’s funny how life moves in circles of time D D/E D/F# G To think not so long ago that face was mine A Bm D/F# G Houses get smaller, we take different names Em7 Asus4 A But some things in life stay the same. [Chorus] [Bridge:] D F Em D Some day she’ll go off and find a life of her own, D G A D And marry a good man and make a happy home. F G Until she comes back and sees with those same eyes Em Asus4 A What time cannot disguise... [Verse 4:] D D/E D/F# G She walks through the door with that look on her face, D D/E D/F# G ‘Cause daddy's brown hair has all turned to gray. A Bm D/F# G They talk for hours, they cry and they laugh, A Bm D/F# G watchin’ old movies and thinkin’ back. Em7 D/F# G Just as she turns to go, Em7 Asus4 A She says, “Hey Dad, how ‘bout one for the road?” D/F# G A Bm D/F# G A Bm Dance me, dance me around till my feet don't ever touch... Bm A/C# Down! [Final Chorus:] D/F# G A Bm D/F# G A Bm Dance me, dance me around, ‘till my feet don’t ever touch down!

[Tag] D D/E D/F# G Spinning around on the tops of his feet, D D/E D/F# G Smiles of the angels could not be... so sweet.
