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

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