King For A Day chords by 
Scott Cooley
N/A•
Verse 1
G
C
D
Well,
G
D
G
I might have been a monarch
D
in another life
Em
Or an Indian chief
C
with Pocahontas for a wife
G
D
Maybe a CEO or a captain of a team
Em
But on this day, like a Kennedy,
C
D
I was living an American dream.
G
Well, I could have been
D
born a baron or a czar,
Em
but in stead I was dead with
C
an acoustic guitar.
G
Dressed up as a man from Graceland
D
for a party I went to,
Em
but I wished I was incognito
C
D
and alive in Kalamazoo.
G
Well some say it's good to be the king
C
D
But I'm here to tell you it ain't
G
In a world of sinners
C
D
it's too hard to be a saint
Em
I'd rather be a con in some
C
other guy's game
Had my chance on the throne
D
but what a royal pain
G
C
D
Feeling like a fool was the price I paid
G
To be king for a day
D
G
D
Well I was kicking it old school circa 76
Em
Saying thank you very much
C
and playing some Scotty Licks
G
White jumpsuit, huge collar,
D
lamb chops, sideburns too
Em
Posing for pics with old ladies
C
D
for an en tire afternoon
G
My blood was blue,
D
but all I could do was frown
Em
C
I wore no crown, felt like a big fat clown
G
You could say that I ruled,
D
but all I wanted to do was live
Em
I swore I'd be happier
C
D
without a penny to give
G
Well some say it's good to be the king,
C
D
but I'm here to tell you it ain't
G
In a world of sinners,
C
D
it's too hard to be a saint
Em
I'd rather be a pawn in some
C
other guy's game
Had my chance on the throne,
D
but what a royal pain
G
C
D
Feelin' like a fool was the price I paid
G
To be king for a day
C
I just wanted to have a costume
D
so I could drink and fit in
G
but people wouldn't leave me alone
Em
they thought that I was him so
C
I did the thing with my lip
D
and I swiveled my hips
G
I sang the songs and I
Em
even got some tips
C
but there was too much attention
D
the pressure gave me the blues
C
you don't know what it's
D
Till you've stepped in his
blue suede shoes
G
Some say it's good to be the king
C
D
But I'm here to tell you it ain't
G
In a world of sinners
C
D
It's too hard to be a saint
Em
I'd rather be a pawn
C
In some other guy's game
Had my chance on the throne
D
But what a royal pain
G
Feeling like a fool
C
D
Was the price I paid
G
To be king for a day
D
So take it from me
G
It's not even worth
C
D
15 minutes of fame
G
To be king for a day

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner
theNewPaul
“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
