[Intro]
A (riff)

[Verse 1]
            Bb
I dreamed I had a good job and I got well paid
                           E
Blew it all at the penny arcade
Bb
A hundred dollars on a kewpie doll
                                         E             Bb
I guess no white chick is gonna make me crawl (that's right)

[Chorus]
[ch  ]G                      G F# F E
On a TWA, to the promised land
  E
Every woman, child and man
         G                    A  
Gets a cadillac and a diamond ring
                                     E    A D
Dont you know we're riding with the king?

[Verse 2]
           Bb
Hes on a mission of mercy to the new frontier
                                  E
Hes gonna check us all on out of here
Bb
Up to that mansion on a hill
                                      E                      Bb
Where you can get your prescription filled (any kind of pill)

[Chorus]
      G                       G F# F E
On a TWA to the promised land

Dont you know we're riding with the king?

[Verse 3]

D                         Bb
A red cape and shiny colt 45
D                                    Bb
I never saw his face but I saw the light
G                                        A   
Tonight everybody's getting their angel wings
                                     Bb  E A
Dont you know we're riding with the king?

[Verse 4]-spoken

          Bb
Well I stepped out of a mirror at ten years old
         E                           A
With a suit sharp as a razor and a heart of gold
          Bb
I had a guitar hanging just about waist high
           E                         A
I'm gonna play that thing until the day I die

[Chorus-Outro]

We're ridin' with the King

Bb                   E  A

                                      Bb
