| As a b | oy I walked | through the valley |
| D | G | |
| and gazed at the | world a | ll around |
| G7 | C | G | |
| made a vow that | somehow I'd | find fame and | fortune |
| Em | D | G | |
| I | found i | t look at | me now |
| I had a sweetheart who would love me forever |
| didn't need her; I would reign all alone |
| look at me I'm the king of cold lonely castle |
| the queen of my heart is gone |
| Get around me, you fools for a dollar |
| listen to me; a lesson you'll learn |
| well there's hapiness and love sent from heaven above |
| and the fires of ambition will burn |
