Riding with the King - Eric Clapton & B.B. King
[Intro] A7, B7
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
G7 F7
On a TWA, to the promised land
E7
Every woman, child and man
G7
Gets a cadillac and a diamond ring
A7 B7 E7 A7
Dont you know we're riding with the king?
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
G7 F7 E7
On a TWA to the promised land
E7
Everybody come on and clap your hands
G7
Dont you just love the way he sings
A7 B7 E7 A7
Dont you know we're riding with the king?
[Bridge]
D7 B7
A red cape and shiny cold 45
D7 B7
I never saw his face but I saw the light
G7
Tonight everybody's getting their angel wings
A7 B7
Dont you know we're riding with the king?
B7 E7
Well I stepped out of a mirror at 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 die
