Great Big Sea - When I Am King

From "Something Beautiful" (2004)
(Alan Doyle)

[G]Wake up, with[D]out a care
Your [C]head's not heavy, [D]conscience clear
[G]Sins are all for[D]given here, [C]yours and mi[D]ne
[G]Fear has gone with[D]out a trace
It's the [C]perfect time, it's the [D]perfect place
[G]Nothing hurting, Nothing sore, [D]No one suffers anymore,
The [C]doctor's found a simple cure, [D]just in time

CHORUS:
[G]All these things if [D]I were King would all [Em]appear around [D]me
The [G]world will [C]sing when [D]I am [G]King
The [G]world will [C]sing when [D]I am [G]King

Ah, She [G]walks right in she don't [D]even knock
It's the [C]girl you lost to the [D]high school jock
She [G]shuts the door and [D]turns the lock, and [C]takes your [D]hand
She [G]says she always [D]felt a fool, for [C]picking the Captain [D]over you
She [G]wonders if you miss her, says she [D]always told her sister
That [C]you're the best damn kisser that she's [D]ever had

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL:  [G]   [D]   [Em]   [D]

BRIDGE:
[D]Daylight waits to [C]shine until the [G]moment you a[C]waken
[D]   So you [C]never miss the [G]dawn   [C]
[D]   No [C]question, now, you [G]know which road you're [C]taking
[D]Lights all green, the [C]radio plays [G]just the perfect [D]song

INSTRUMENTAL (x2)

Well, the [G]war's been won. All the [D]fights are fought
You [C]find yourself in [D]just the spot
It's a [G]place where every[D]body's got a [C]song to [D]sing
Just [G]like the final [D]movie scene. The [C]prince will find his [D]perfect queen
The [G]hero always saves the world, The [D]villains get what they deserve
The [C]boy will always get the girl [D]When I am King
 
CHORUS (x2)

The [G]world will [C]sing when [D]I am [G]King
