[Verse 1]
D F G D
Oh, I'm leaning on a rail
F G D
Letting my eyes roam over the plain
D F G D
Oh, I'm laughing on my break
F G D
Feeling like a captive on a long chain
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G
Watch the people pick up sticks
G
Big boss man cracks his whip
G D
It's serious but we laugh to keep from crying (whoa, crying)
G
Spouting out the company line
G
Everything here's just fine
G D
He says he cares about me but he's lying (whoa, lying)
[Chorus]
Am C G
And up, up in the big house
N.C.
The king of the hill
D F G | D F G
D F G | D F G
[Verse 2]
D F G D
Oh, I'm watching the boss man
F G D
Talking to his sister with the dirty hands
D F G D
They sit, cussing at the rules
F G D
Wishing they could lose me as fast as they can
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G
He's got me in the roughest rig
G
He thinks I took his brother's gig
G D
People say they've got the game rigged (whoa, rigged)
G
His daddy gave him everything
G
A job and a house and his earring
G D
Why does he think that I'm so threatening, (whoa, so bad)
[Chorus]
Am C G
And up, up in the big house
D F G | D F G
King of the hill
Am C G
And there, driving the big cat
N.C.
King of the hill

[Verse 3]
D F G D
I'm over in my space
F G D
Swatting bugs, sweat stains rolling down my face
F G D
I'm trying not to drink
F G D
Knowing I've got to roll out of this place
[Pre-Chorus 3]
G
Watch the people pick up bricks
G
King of the hill with his nightstick
G
Caught up in accounting tricks
G
Throw a bone to the poor hicks
G
Got some candy, take a lick
G
Great white hope, shooting bricks
G D
Time to let us all share the wealth (whoa, the wealth)
G
Getting coffee for the big stick
G
Hand in his pants at the skin flick
G
Leisure suit, but thinks he's slick
G
Lots of poisons, take your pick
G
Mama, mama, mama come quick
G
Feeling like I'm getting sick
G
Have you noticed any nervous tics
G D
Think I'd better take care of myself (whoa, myself)
[Chorus]
Am C G
And up, up in the big house
D F G | D F G
King of the hill
Am C G
And there, driving the big cat

King of the hill
