King Of The Hill

Tom: A

 A  A  A  F#m  A  Bm  D  F#m

 [Verse one]
A                  C#m
L.A.'s asleep, you roll up your window
D                Bm        D          E
The night air is cold, the freeway is clear
     A                    C#m
In a green Gucci bag, are your prized possessions
    D              Bm       D             E
The jewels of your mind, to hold back the fear


 [Chorus]
         F#m                     A
And when Monday comes round, there's a high lonesome sound
        Bm          D            F#m
And she follows you down for the kill
      F#m                            A
And a white blinding light, makes it all seem so right
    Bm              D           F#m
And you feel like a king of the hill


 [Verse two]
A                     C#m
The driveway is long, your princess is lovely
D                 Bm             D            E
Your servants all wait, for your knock on the door
    A                    C#m
How many years, will you crawl through this castle
D          Bm     D             E
So satisfied, and still wanting more


[Chorus]
         F#m                           A
And when Monday comes round, there's a high lonesome sound
        Bm          D            F#m
And she follows you down for the kill
      F#m                            A
And a white blinding light, makes it all seem so right
    Bm              D           F#m
And you feel like a king of the hill

[Instrumental Break]
A   C#m   D    Bm    D    E

[Verse three]
    A                        C#m
The guests have arrived With all the right faces
D                Bm        D          E
But you missed the ball In that room down the hall
 A                  C#m
It's sunrise again The driveway is empty
     D         Bm              D            E
The crystal is cracked There's blood on the wall


[Chorus] [2x]
    F#m                                A
And when Monday comes round, there's a high lonesome sound
        Bm          D            F#m
And she follows you down for the kill
      F#m                            A
And a white blinding light, makes it all seem so right
        Bm          D           F#m
And you feel like a king of the hill

[Outro]
        Bm          D           F#m
Yes you feel like a king of the hill
       Bm          D           F#m
Ah you feel like a king of the hill
        Bm          D           F#m
Yes you feel like a king of the hill
        Bm          D           F#m
        Bm          D           F#m
        Bm          D           F#m repeat and fade out
