King of the World  Steely Dan






Bass line: C/E - D/F# - E/G#
[Cmaj9] Hello  [D6-9] one and [E]all
[Cmaj9] Was it  [D6-9] you I[E] used to know?
[Cmaj9] Can't you  [D6-9] hear me[E]call
[Cmaj9] On this  [D6-9] old ham[E]radio?
[Cmaj9] All I've  [D6-9] got to[E] say
[Cmaj9] I'm[D6-9] alive and [E] feeling fine
[Cmaj9] Should you  [D6-9] come [E] my way
[Cmaj9] You can [D6-9] share my [E] poison wine

[Bm7]No marigolds in the promised [Am7] land,
[C]There's a hole in the [G] ground where they[D]used to grow
[Bm7]Any man left on the[Am7] Rio Grande
[Em7] Is the [G]king of the world[A-G (4x)]as far as[A]I know

I won't take your bread
I don't need no helping hand
I can't be no savage
I can't be no highwayman
Show me where you are
You and I can will this day
Driving in my car
Through the ruins of Santa Fe

[Cborus]

[Am7Im readingEm7]last years papers
[Am7]Although[Em7]I don't know why
[Am7]Assassins, cons and[Em7]rapers
[C]Might as[G]well[A-G-A-G-A]die

When you come around
No more pain and no regrets
Watch the sun go brown
Smoking cobalt cigarettes
There's no need to hide
Taking things the easy way
If I stay inside
I might live till Saturday
No marigolds in the promised land
There's a hole in the ground where they used to grow
Any man left of the Rio Grande
Is the king of the world
King of the world as far as I know
