King of Spain

By The Tallest Man on Earth

[Intro]
G C D
G

[Verse]
                     G
I never knew I was a lover
                                   Em
Just 'cause I steal the things you hide
                                C       D
Just 'cause I focus while we're dancing
                            G
Just 'cause I offered you a ride

                         G
Still I am not from Barcelona
                     Em
I am not even from Madrid
                     C          D
I am a native of the North Folk
                         G
And that can mess up any kid

[Chorus]
         D                   Em
Well, if you can reinvent my name
         D                   Em  C
Well, if you can redirect my day
        D              G
I wanna be the king of Spain

[Verse]
                        G
And I will settle in Pamplona
                                Em
And I'll provoke the bulls with words
                            C             D
And then I'll send a man to meet them all
                             G
The blood is fake, so I have heard

                      G
And all the señoritas sighing
                           Em
Will be the fountain of my lies
                              C     D
But while we're floating in siestas
                               G
You search for bottles and for knives

[Chorus]
         D                   Em
Well, if you can reinvent my name
         D                   Em  C
Well, if you can redirect my day
        D              G
I wanna be the king of Spain

[Verse]
                               G
And I wear my boots of Spanish leather
                            Em
Oh, while I'm tightening my crown
                          C     D
I'll disappear in some flamenco
                             G
Perhaps I'll reach the other side

                         G
Why are you stamping my illusion?
                                Em
Just cause I stole some eagle's wings
                             C     D
Because you named me as your lover
                              G
Well, I thought I could be anything


[Chorus]
         D                   Em
Well, if you can reinvent my name
         D                   Em  C
Well, if you can redirect my day
        D              G
I wanna be the king of Spain
