[Ab] He's a king [Eb]
[Ab] without a castle [Eb] or crown
[B] [Cm] And every night [G] he lays [Db] [Eb] his body down
In [Ab] a different [Gm] town
[B] One thing [Cm] stays the same
[G] [Ab] Everybody knows [Eb] his name
People [Ab] will laugh or [Eb] cry
[Ab] As his stories [Eb] are told
[Bb] To [Eb] tell the truth [B] like this

[Ab] Watching him with [Bb] Lucille
