When I Am King Tab uke di Great Big Sea

G        D                    C                 D

Wake up, without a care. Your head's not heavy, conscience clear

G            D              C         D

Sins are all forgiven here, yours and mine

G             D

Fear has gone without a trace

         C                      D

It's the perfect time, it's the perfect place

G                              D

Nothing hurting. Nothing sore. No one suffers anymore,

C

The doctor's found a simple cure.

D

Just in time



Chorus:

G                   D                      Em            D

All these things if I were King would all  appear around me

    G          C         D    G

The world will sing when I am King

    G          C         D    G

The world will sing when I am King



G                               D                    C                    D

Ah She walks right in she don't even knock. It's the girl you lost to the high school jock

G                      D                   C          D

She shuts the door and turns the lock, and takes your hand.

G                   D                C                   D

She says she always felt a fool, for picking the Captain over you

G                                     D

She wonders if you miss her, says she always told her sister

C

That you're the best damn kisser

D

That she's ever had



REPEAT CHORUS



(F)(C)(Dm)(C)

*Ohhohohohoh part*


D                 C               G          C

Daylight waits to shine until the moment you awaken

D      C              G    C

So you never miss the dawn 

D  C                  G                      C

No question, now, you know which road you're taking

D                     C                    G       D

Lights all green, the radio plays just the perfect song

*musical bit*



G                                 D

Well, the war's been won. All the fights are fought

C                    D

You find yourself in just the spot

G                        D            C       D

It's a place where every body's got a song to sing.

G                   D                C                    D

Just like the final movie scene. The prince will find his perfect queen

G                                    D

The hero always saves the world. The villains get what they deserve

C                                D

The boy will always get the girl When I am King
