Alptoppens Ros Chords by Owe Thörnqvist

[D] I am the [G] king [D] of the world, [G] I am the king of the world _
Now I will sing a song [D] about a mouse
That will arouse the [G] mood in the house
It starts with love [D] in the mountains [C] and in the valley
[G] And ends [C#m] with violence, death [G] and open morality
[G] I am the king of _
[D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ the world
There grew in the valley two flowers [D] one day
One was beautiful, the other [G] was me
The third in the spring, the light [C] went out
[G] The [E] fifth in the autumn, [Am] [D] love [G] ended
We built a cabin on the snow of [D] Alptopp
There we would live, [F#] there [G] we would die
And I remember, _ [Am] this came with a [C] scream
When I was [G#] locked out for five [G] nights in a row
It was morning, she pointed to the Alps' [D]
top
And said, you [F#] will [G] climb the Alps
Because some human feet [C] can reach you
[G] And pick an [E] alpine rose and a [G] fig or two
[D] I am [G] the king of the world, I am the [Em] king of [G] the world
It seemed she was wrong to want to [D] be
So lonely in the cabin, was the eternal [G] day
So instead of looking for [D] flowers [C] in the snow
[G] I stood [E] behind the cabin and lit [G] the fire
Then the door opened, a St.
[D] Bernard's dog
And after a while, St.
[C] Bernard [G] himself
Sat there and hung [C] and drank and died
And [Em] the yoke [E] with the cock around [G] the neck struck _
Then [D] _ _ [G] _ _ I blew the cabin with [D] dynamite
It echoed for a long time [Am] and the door [G] opened
Then I cried a tear [Am] under the stars' [C] roof
[Em] You knew what [E] a sin it was to be a [G] prime king
The moral of the news is short [D] and boring
Let the Alps' top [Am] be built [G] your house
Trust me, I am your [C] system delivery
_ [G] And the weekend, [E] I am rather on [G] offer with a tail _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ I am the king of the world, I am the king of the world
It seemed she was wrong to want to be
So lonely in the cabin, was the eternal [G] day _ _
