Kings Lead Hat

C5
  Dark alley (dark alley)

Black star
A5
  Four turkeys in a big black car
C5
  The road is shiny (bright shiny)

The wheels slide
A5
  Four turkeys going for a dangerous
 ride
C5
  The lacquer crackles (black tar)

The engines roar
A5
  A ship was turning broadside to 
the shore
C5
  Splish splash, I was raking in the
 cash
      A5
The biology of purpose keeps my nose
 above the surface


[Chorus]
G                       Bb
King's lead hat put the innocence 
inside her
        C
It will come, it will come, it will 
surely come
G                     Bb
King's lead hat was a mother to 
desire
        C
It will come, it will come, it will 
surely come


[Verse 2]
C5
  In New Delhi (smelly Delhi)

And Hong Kong
A5
  They all know that it won't be 
long
C5
  I count my fingers (digit counter)

Continues after the ad
As night falls
A5
  And draw bananas on the bathroom 
walls
C5
  The killer cycles (humdrum)

The killer hertz
A5
  The passage of my life is measured
 out in shirts
C5
  Time and motion (motion carried)

Time and tide
      A5
All I know and all I have is time 
and time and tide is on my side


[Chorus]
G                       Bb
King's lead hat put the poker in the
 fire
        C
It will come, it will come, it will 
surely come
G                     Bb
King's lead hat was a mother to 
desire
        C
It will come, it will come, it will 
surely come


[Middle 8] (like the verse)
C5 A5 x4


[Bridge] (like the chorus)
G Bb C x2


[Verse 3]
C5
  The weapon's ready (ready Freddy)

The guns purr
A5
  The satellite distorts his voice 
to a slur
C5
  He gives orders (finger pie)

Which no one hears
A5
  The king's hat fits over their 
ears
C5
  He takes his modicate

Cold turpentine
A5
  He tries to dial out 999999999
C5
  He dials reception (moving finger)

He's all alone
A5
  He's just a victim of the 
telephone


[Chorus]
G                        Bb
King's lead hat made the Amazon much
 wider
        C
It will come, it will come, it will 
surely come
G                       Bb
King's lead hat put the poker in the
 fire
        C
It will come, it will come, it will 
surely come
G                     Bb
King's lead hat was a mother to 
desire
        C
It will come, it will come, it will 
surely come
G                       Bb
King's lead hat put the innocence 
inside her
        C
It will come, it will come, it will 
surely come
