F#m E D A D A E
[Verse]
F#m E
High on a hill
D A
The valley below me
D A
The blue sky above me
E A
My dream was so real
F#m E
I could not hear
D A
The hum of the highway
D A
Or the drums of the foundry
E A
Pounding out steel
[Chorus]
D A
Didn't need no money
D A
Didn't need no time
D A
I didn't need nothing
E A
But my own piece of mind
A
And to know that
D A
A voice like a whisper
D A
Is bound to be heard
D A
For just one moment
E F#m
I'm the king of the world
D A
Just for one moment
E A E F#m Bm
I'm the king of the world
[Interlude]
F#m E D A D A E
[Verse]
F#m E
So I close my eyes
D A
Let the powers defeat me
D A
Because the real world can't free me
E A
From this dirty old town
F#m E
Where the four winds blow
D A
I send my troubles rolling
D A
Since the world just kept turning
E A
I just let it go round
[Chorus]
D A
Didn't need no money
D A
Didn't need no time
D A
I didn't need nothing
E A
But my own piece of mind
A
And to know that
D A
A voice like a whisper
D A
Is bound to be heard
D A
Just for one moment
E F#m
I'm the king of the world
D A
Just for one moment
E A E F#m Bm
I'm the king of the world
[Interlude]
F#m E D A D A E
[Verse]
F#m E
See I took it all in
D A
Like time takes forever
D A
In a dream that you never
E A
Believed would come true
F#m E
Then I gave it away
D A
I just had to surrender
D A
Man I just can't remember
E A
When I felt so good
[Chorus]
D A
Didn't need no money
D A
Didn't need no time
D A
I didn't need nothing
E A
But my own piece of mind
A
And to know that
D A
A voice like a whisper
D A
Is bound to be heard
D Dmaj7 Esus4 A
Just for one moment
E F#m
I'm the king of the world
D Dmaj7 Esus4 A
Just for one moment
E
I'm the king ...
E A E F#m Bm
I'm the king ... of the world
