	        Intro A7  B7 

B7 
I dreamed I did a good job and I got well paid 
                   E7 
Blew it all at the penny arcade 
B7 
A hundred dollars on a kewpie doll 
                          E7 
I guess no white chick is gonna make me crawl 

G7                 F7 
On a TWA, to the promised land 
E7 
Every woman, child and man 
G7 
Gets a Cadillac and a great big diamond ring 
A7                      B7    E7  A7 
Dont you know we're riding with the king? 

B7 
Hes on a mission of mercy to the new frontier 
                  E7 
Hes gonna check us all on out of here 
B7 
Up to that mansion on a hill 
                       E7 
Where you can get your prescription filled 

G7                 F7 E7 
On a TWA to the promised land 
E7 
Everybody come on and clap your hands 
G7 
And don't you just love the way that he sings? 
A7                      B7  E7   A7 
Dont you know we're riding with the king? 

D7                  B7 
A tuxedo and shiny 335  
D7                       B7 
You can see it in his face, the blue never lie 
G7 
Tonight everybody's getting their angel wings 
A7                       B7 
Dont you know we're riding with the king? 
B7                             E7 
I stepped out of Mississippi when I was ten years old 
                   A7 
With a suit cut sharp, as a razor and a heart of gold 
B7 
I had a guitar hanging just about waist high 
E7                             A7 
I'm gonna play that thing until the day I died
