C G D C G Em A Asus A
Can I help it if I 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)
