Verse 2
C G
Well I dreamed I saw the king in a fifty three chevy
Dm F
Had a band on his mind and his hands looked heavy
C G
And he rolled down his window I guess to say hi
Dm F
I couldn't see his face 'cause of the purple haze inside
C G
And he was born to be the king - he was born to be the man
Dm F
And he died though he was holy - although I doubt he'd understand
(F) G C
When I say

Verse 3
C
If it means guitar you gotta have it
Am
And you got your axe and you got your group
C
And your old man thinks its a waste of loot
Am
And you wait all week for a Sullivan show
C Am Dm
And you know that's just where you wanna go
F
And you homework now is never complete

You don't care - cause you have got that beat

You know these kids and you know of those things
