Verse 1
(D minor) (A minor) Ladies and gentlemen (C major)
(D minor) Fellow Americans,
lady Amer (A minor) icans (D minor) (C major)
(D minor) This is James Brown
(A minor) I wanna talk to you about one of our
(D minor) Most deadly (A minor) killers in
the (D minor) country today
(A minor) I had a dream the other night, and I
Was sittin' in my living (D minor) room
(A minor) Dozed off to sleep
So I start to dreamin'
I dreamed I (D minor) walked in a place and (A minor)
I (D minor) saw a real strange, (A minor) weird object
Standin' up talkin' to the (D minor) people
And I found out it was heroin (A minor)
That deadly drug that go in your veins
(C major) He said (D minor)
(F major) I came (D minor) to this (A minor) country without
Verse 2
a passport (D minor)
Ever since then I've been hunted
(A minor) an d sought
(D minor) My little white grains are nothin'
but waste (A minor)
Soft and deadly (C major) and bitter (D minor) to taste (F major)
(D minor) I'm a (A minor) world of power
(D minor) and all know it's true
(A minor) Use me once and you'll know
it, too (C major) (D minor)
I can make a mere (A minor) schoolboy
forget his books
I can (D minor) make a world- famous beauty
neglect her look (G major) s (A minor)
I can (D minor) make a good man forsake his wife
(G major) Send a (D minor) greedy (G major) man to pris (A minor) on
for the rest of his life (D minor)
I can make a man for (A minor) sake his
country and flag
(D minor) Make a girl sell her (C major) body
(A minor) for a five- dollar bag
Some think my adventure's
(D minor) a joy and a thriller (G major)
But (A minor) I'll put a gun in your hand
and make you a killer
(D minor) In cellophane (G major) bags
I've found my way
(A minor) To heads of state, to children at play
(D minor) I'm financed in China, ran in (G major) Japan
(D minor) (A minor) I'm respected in Turkey
and I'm legal in Siam (D minor) (Gsus4) (F major)
I (A minor) take my addicts and make 'em steal,
borrow, (D minor) beg
Then they (F major) search for a vein (D minor)
(A minor) in their arm or their leg (D minor)
(G major) So, (A minor) be you Italian,

Verse 3
(D minor) Jewish,
(F major) Black or (A minor) Mex
I can make the (D minor) most virile
of men forget their sex (A minor)
So now, now, my (C major) man,
you (D minor) must (Gsus4) (you know) do (F major) your best
(A minor) To keep up your habit
(C major) (D minor) until your arrest
(A minor) Now the police have taken you
from under (D minor) my wing (A minor)
Do you think (D minor) they dare defy
me, I who am king? (F major) (A minor)
Now, you must lie (D minor) in that county jail
(A minor) Where I can't get to you
by (C major) visit or mail (D minor)
So squirm (F major) (A minor) with discomfort,
wiggle and cough (C major) (D minor) (hack!)
Six days of madness, (A minor) hah,
and (C major) you might (D minor) throw me off
(F major) Curse me in name! Defy (A minor) me in speech!
But you'd pick me (D minor) up right now
if I were in your reach (A minor)
Verse 4
All through (A minor) your sentence (D minor) you've become
resolved to your fate
(F major) Hear now! (D minor) (A minor) Young man and woman,
I'll be waitin' (D minor) at the gate
Don't (G major) be afraid,
(D minor) don't (A minor) run ! I'm (D minor) not chased
Sure my name is Heroin! (G major) (A minor) You'll
be back for a taste
Behold, (D minor) you're hooked! (G major) (D minor)
(G major) Your (D minor) foot is (A minor) in the stir (D minor) rup
(A minor) And (D minor) make haste
(G major) Mount the steed! (A minor)
And ride him (D minor) well
For (A minor) the white (D minor) horse of (A minor) heroin (D minor)
Will ride you to Hell! (A minor)
To Hell! (D minor)
Verse 5
(D minor) Will ride (F major) you (D minor) (A minor) to Hell!
(D minor) Until you are dead! (F major) (A minor) (D minor)
Dead, brother! (A minor) Dead! (D minor)
This is a revolution (F major) of the mind (D minor)
(A minor) Get your mind together
And get away from drugs!
(D minor) (A minor) That's (D minor) (F major)
(A minor) the man!
Back! Back
The King
