[Verse 1]
[Dm]They shot him [Am]down[Dm]
They [Am]shot him [Dm]down[Am]
They thought he was a monster
But [Dm]he was the King
[Am]

[Verse 2]
They came to his island
And they brought her [Em]with [Am]them[Em]
They [Am]wanted to get his picture
But they were sur[G]prised [Dm]by his
enormous [Am]size[Dm][Am]

[Verse 3]
And when he saw [Am]the woman
[Em]He t[Am]ook her witho[Dm]ut qu[Am]estion
Because [Dm]after [Am]all
He was [A5]the King
[Am]And [Dm]he loved

[Verse 4]
[Am]the wo[Em]man
[Am]He l[F]oved[Am] the way she looked
[F]And she[Am] wouldn't stop
[Em]scream[Am]ing
[A5]But [Am]he loved

[Verse 5]
the woman
And he fought a Tyrannosaurus Rex
And it was a bloody battle

[Verse 6]
But he fought it for his woman
[Am]And he climbed up a mountain
And he [G]looked [Am]around
Some kind of forest
With all these dinosaur[G]s[Am]

[Verse 7]
And he stripped [Am]his woman
He stripped her bare
But there was a pterodactyl
There!

[Verse 8]
And [Am]then a [G]her[Am]o
Came and took his woman
And they fell off the mountain
[G]In [Am]to some water

[Verse 9]
And then [Am]later
He [F]came [Am]looking for his woman
But they were waiting
[G]And they [Am]threw a [G]bomb[Am]

[Verse 10]
And they [Am]tied him
And took [G]him [Am]across the ocean
And they chained him
And put him in the show

[Verse 11]
And when [Am]he saw his woman
He broke loose
And everyone fled in terror
And he was [G]look[Am]ing for her

[Verse 12]
[Am]And he overtook a train
And he was [G]look[Am]ing in the street
And then he found her in her apartment
[G][Am]

[Verse 13]
And he climbed up
the Empire State building
It was like a phallic symbol
And he took his woman
To the top of that towering temple

[Verse 14]
And he [Am]climbed up and looked around
Some [G]kind [Am]of city
With all those [G]sky[Am]scrapers

[Verse 15]
And all the cars
[Am]Just him and his screaming woman
[G]And [Am]they were finally alone
[E]He [Am]loved his woman
You could [G]see [Am]it in his eyes
[E]His [Am]great big eyes

[Verse 16]
He [Am]loved his woman
From the moment that he saw her
He [Bb]was all [Am]choked up [C]inside
[Am]But when the airplanes

[Verse 17]
came
He was soon to die
But he hung on long [G]enough[Am]
to set his woman down
And make sure that she was safe

[Verse 18]
And as the [Am]bullets [E]pierced
[Am]He looked at her so sincere
Before he fell
Because he loved [G]his wo[Am]man

[Verse 19]
And they [Am]shot him down
They [G]thought he was [Am]a monster
But he was the King

[Verse 20]
Who [Am]killed the mon[G]key
[Am]'Twas [G]beau[Am]ty
that killed the beast

[Verse 21]
And Willis [Am]O'Brien died
A tragic [Am]death
There wasn't much
That he had [G]left[Am]

[Verse 22]
And Ray Harryhousen said
That when Willis died
That's when [Am]the King was really dead

[Verse 23]
They shot [Am]him down
[Am]They shot him [Am]down
They thought [Am]he was a monster
But he was [F]the King
