King Of The World

• G

Intro: G G/A G/B C G G/A G/B C9 

G         G/A          G/B         C 
Spinning around on the tops of his feet, 
G             G/A          G/B       C 
Smiles of the angels could not be so sweet. 
D         Em       G/B        C 
Wide blue eyes and piggy tail swirls 
Am7       G/B     C9 
She’s her daddy's girl. 

       G            G/A          G/B         C 
‘Cause he knows the jokes that always make her laugh 
G             G/A          G/B         C 
Takes her for ice cream instead of her nap. 
       D          Em         G/B          C 
At the end of the day by the light of the moon, 
     Am7                  Dsus4               D 
They turn up the music in their living room,   and she yells 

G/B   C   D         Em              G/B  C     D          Em 
Dance me, dance me around, ‘till my feet don’t ever touch down! 
       Am7             G/B         C          D 
‘Cause there’s nothing better than being your girl, 
       Am7       G/B            C 
And if I am your princess, then daddy, 
Dsus4        D           G    G/A G/B C 
You are the king of the world. 

( G G/A G/B C ) 

    G         G/A           G/B         C 
It’s funny how life moves in circles of time 
   G            G/A      G/B           C 
To think not so long ago that face was mine 
D          Em          G/B            C 
Houses get smaller, we take different names 
    Am7                          Dsus4  D 
But some things in life stay the same. 

G/B   C   D         Em              G/B  C     D          Em 
Dance me, dance me around, ‘till my feet don’t ever touch down! 
       Am7             G/B         C          D 
‘Cause there’s nothing better than being your girl, 
       Am7       G/B            C 
And if I am your princess, then daddy, 
Dsus4        D           G    G/A G/B C 
You are the king of the world. 

G               Bb         Am                 G 
Some day she’ll go off and find a life of her own, 
    G       C            D            G 
And marry a good man and make a happy  home. 
          Bb                                  C 
Until she comes back and sees with those same eyes 
     Am          Dsus4    D 
What time cannot    disguise... 

    G                 G/A            G/B         C 
She walks through the door with that look on her face, 
        G             G/A      G/B           C 
 ‘Cause daddy's brown hair has all turned to gray. 
D             Em          G/B          C 
They talk for hours, they cry and they laugh, 
D            Em        G/B       C 
watchin’ old movies and thinkin’ back. 
Am7         G/B      C 
Just as she turns to go, 
           Am7                Dsus4          D 
She says, “Hey Dad, how ‘bout one for the road?” 

G/B   C   D         Em            G/B  C     D          Em 
Dance me, dance me around till my feet don't ever touch... 
Em    D/F# 
Down! 

G/B   C   D         Em              G/B  C     D          Em 
Dance me, dance me around, ‘till my feet don’t ever touch down! 
       Am7             G/B         C          D 
‘Cause There’s nothing better than being your girl, 
       Am7             G/B         C          D 
Oh no, there’s nothing better than being your girl, 
       Am7       G/B            C       Dsus4 
And if I am your princess, then daddy, (extra measure) 
D                       G      G/A G/B 
You are the king of the world, 
C       G       G/A  G/B C 
king of... the world. 

G         G/A          G/B         C 
Spinning around on the tops of his feet, 
G             G/A          G/B       C 
Smiles of the angels could not be so sweet.
