  G All these things if D I were King would all Em appear around D me
 The G world will C sing when D I am G King
 The G world will C sing when D I am G King
  G Ah She walks right in she don't D even knock. It's the C girl you lost to the D high school jock
  G She shuts the door and D turns the lock, and C takes your D hand.
  G She says she always D felt a fool, for C picking the Captain D over you
  G She wonders if you miss her, says she D always told her sister

  C The boy will always get the girl D When I am King
 The G world will C sing when D I am G King
