[B]
I dream I had a good job and I got well paid.
[F#] I blew it all at the ten [E] yard gate.
[B]
I printed dollars on a Cupid doll.
No [F#] pretty chick is gonna [E] make me crawl.
[B]
[G] Get on the street on your way to the promised land.
[E] Every woman, child and man.
There's a shadow light and a great big diamond [A] ring.
Don't you know you're [F#m] riding with [B] the king?
[Bm] [E]
[A] [B] It's all a mission of mercy, the new [Bm] frontier.
He's gonna take us all up [E] out of here.

Don't you know you're riding [Bm] with the [B] king?
I stepped out of [F#] Mississippi when I was [E] 10 years old.
With a suit [A] cut sharp as a razor and a heart [B] made of gold.
I had a guitar hanging [E] just above waist high.
And [Bm] I'm gonna play this [F#m] thing until the day I [B] die.
