King of New Orleans Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Em][Am][D]
[G]
Got an angel [Em]on the stairs

[Verse 1]
As if you'd even [Am]care
When the lights are up
And the [D]sun had nearly gone, [G]down

[Verse 2]
Did you see him on the [Em]street
Did you pass him at your [Am]feet
Did you think at all
How [D]dare they even look me in the [C]eye

[Verse 3]
And he loves [D]the girls
And he loves [Am]the boys
Gonna make
Twenty [C]dollars before [D]the weekend's over

[Verse 4]
[G]So set him up
[Em]Then let him fall[Am]
Turn him [C]over in your hand[G]s
God [Em]save the [Am]king of [C]New Orleans
[G][Eb][C][F][C]

[Verse 5]
[G]Got a ticket
[Em]to a show
Did you see him take [Am]a blow
When the drunk one said
Cat [D]Stevens was the greatest [G]singer

[Verse 6]
Did you kick him in the [Em]head
Did you see the blood run [Am]down
Did you laugh at all
When the [D]people walked right
by and said [C]aloud
Gutter punks, you're all the [D]same[Am]
Gonna make
Twenty [C]dollars 'fore [D]the weekend's over

[Verse 7]
[G]So set him up
[Em]Then let him f[Am]all
Turn him over [C]in your hand[G]s
God [Em]save the [Am]king of [C]New Orleans

[Verse 8]
[G]Set him[Em] up
Let [Am]him fall
Turn [C]him over in your hand[G]s
God [Em]save the [Am]King of [C]New Orleans

[Verse 9]
Radio [F]in my [G]head
Radio [F]in my [G]car
Goin' down [Am]again
He's goin' [C]down, again
[G][Eb][C][F][C]

[Verse 10]
[G]
Any way you look
Any way you [Em]talk it over
It's [Am]easier
To [D]let it slip out of your [G]mind

[Verse 11]
But it rips your heart [Em]out
Then it kicks your head in
[Am]Would ya you give
him one more chance
[D]Try and see the beauty in [C]his world

[Verse 12]
All the way in on my hand[D]s
In on my feet and shoulders
[Am]Gonna make
Twenty [C]dollars before the week[D]ends over

[Verse 13]
[G]So set him up
[Em]Then let him fall[Am]
Turn him [C]over in your hand[G]s
God [Em]save the [Am]king of [C]New Orleans

[Verse 14]
[G]Set him[D] up
[Em]Then let him fall[Am]
Turn [C]him over in your hand[G]s
