    Am
a while
                 D            
To be there in velvet, yeah to
       Em
give 'em a smile
                  Em           
It's good to get high and never
     Am

                  D             
It's good to be king of your own
        Em  (riff)
little town
 
           A                     D
Yeah the world would swing oh if I

C G D                   C G
     Can I help it if I    
Em         A               Asus  A
  still dream time to time
 
It's good to be king and have your
own way
Get a feeling of peace at the end
of the day
And when your bulldog barks and
your canary sings
You're out there with winners,
it's good to be king
 
Yeah, I'll be king when dogs get
wings
Can I help it if I still dream
time to time
 
(guitar solo over verse chords)
 
It's good to be king and have your
own world
It helps to make friends, it's
good to meet girls
A sweet little queen, who can't
run away
It's good to be king, whatever it
pays   (no riff)
 
C G D               C G
