 x4
 then
 (there is no guitar in this first part but if you wanted to play it the chords would be)
I  want to believe  in myself  once again
So  I dream of a man whose hopes  never end
To  kiss with a girl  who's as lovely  as you
I'd  give you my heart, if you gave  me the truth
And  for every tear that is lost  from an eye
I'd  dig me a well where no man  could destroy
I  want to believe in a freedom  that's bold
But  all I remember is the freedom  of old (HEY!)
Well  I lost me a wife,  so I found  me a plane
Flew  all the way to California
This  mess in my head  is a mess  getting out
Ya  drink too much coffee, I drink  too much stout
But  after a while, when my mouth's  not so dry
I'll  dance up a storm, sure life's  looking fine
But  as darkness falls, I return  to my bed
Don't  ask me more questions, don't fuck  with my head
I've  been down in this world, down  and almost broken
Like  thousands of people,  left standing  in their shoe
I've  been down in this world, down  and almost broken
As  thousands they grieve,  as the Black  Friday rule
As  thousands they grieve,  as the Black  Friday rule
 (if you want the chords during the solo its the same as the chorus, if you want the
 look elsewhere or figure it our yourself)
The  buildings they shake  but my heart  it beats still
Oh  mother of Jesus, I feel  pretty ill
I  want to go home  where my feet  both feel safe
But  there ain't no jobs in the old  free state
So  I must remain in my new adopted  land
I'm  doing the best, Hell I'm doin'  all I can
So  next time you see me, don't ask for my name
NAME! AME! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!
For
 Bm Bm (by that i mean hit Bm one more time and pause)
 I am the King and sure long may I reign
