The- King of Spa-----in.
I never knew I was a (1)lover,
Just cause I steal the things you (2)hide,
Just cause I focus while we're dancing, or
(3)Just cause I offered you a ride.
Still I am not from Barcel(1)ona, no.
I am not even from (2)Madrid.
I am a native of the North Pole
(3)And that could mess up any kid.
Well if you could reinvent my name,
Well if you (oh-h) could redirect my day,
I wanna be the King of Spain.
And I will settle in Pampl(1)ona
And I'll provoke the bulls with (2)words
And then I'll send a man to meet them all
(3)But he's fake, so I have heard.
And all the senoritas s(1)ighing, oh
Will be the fountain of my (2)lies.
But while we're floating in siestas
(3)Will you search for bottles and for knives?
Well if you could reinvent my name,
Well if you (oh-h) could redirect my day,
I wanna be the King of Spain.
[Intro Pts. 1&2]
And I'll wear my boots of Spanish (1)leather
Oh while I'm tightening my (2)crown.
I'll disappear in some flamenco
(3)And perhaps I'll reach the other side. (end on one open strum, not ringing)
Why are you stabbing my (1)illusion?
Oh, just cause I stole some eagle's (2)wings
Because you named me as your lover
(3)Well, I thought I could be anything.
Well if you could reinvent my name, <-------(Final Chorus)
well if you (oh-h) could redirect my day,
I wanna be the...King of Spain.

version 3
Everything in this is all open strummed really, so the indicated shifts go between all
open strumming as I haven't bothered to put in all the 0's, but it's all pretty easy to
out. The strumming is quite fast and you've got to keep a really loose hand, rolling it
on 3-4 strings at once.
Sorry if the tab's a bit of a mess! It's my first effort so there are bound to be a few
here and there, so just keep listening to the song & watching the youtube video to get
right.

** This is in standard tuning, without the little tricks he does,
like that bass rythm. I'm a bad guitarist, sorry. Since the tab
is based on YouTube clips of him live, the tuning varies a little.
Use a capo to play along with the clip. Also, for this reason I'm
not 100% sure of the lyrics. **
