If I Were King

E  G#  C#m  A  E  B7  E  B7
E  G#  C#m  A  E  B7  E

   E       G#      C#m        
If I were king of this ole crazy 
    A
world,
      E                  B7    
I'm tellin' you, there'd be some 
     E     B7
changes made.
E             G#        C#m     
In my golden crown I'd lead the 
       A
big parade
   E                    B7    
If I were king, there'd be some 
    E      B7
changes made.

     A                           
I'd take you from your prison and 
  E
sit you on a throne
Continues after the ad
    A                              
Instead of threads of linen, you'd 
 E            B7
wear a satin gown.
  A                 B7            
Upon my throne, so safe and sound,
        G#         A
 you'd never be afraid.
   E                    B7    
If I were king, there'd be some 
    E      B7
changes made.

But in my mascarade...
   E                    B7    
If I were king, there'd be some 
    E         A  E
changes made.
