Intro: Ab Db Eb
Verse:
Ab
I never knew I was a lover
Fm
Just cause I steal the things you hide
Db Eb
Just cause I focus while we're dancing
Ab
Just cause I offered you a ride
Ab
Well I am not from Barcelona
Fm
I am not even from Madrid
Db Eb
I am a native of the North Pole
Ab
And that can mess up any kid
Chorus:
Eb Fm
Well if you can reinvent my name
Eb Fm Db
Well if you can redirect my day
Eb Ab
I wanna be the king of Spain
-same chord progression throughout the song-
And I will settle in Pamplona
And Ill provoke the bulls with words
And then Ill send a man to meet them all
The blood is fake, so I have heard
And all the senoritas sighing
Will be the fountain of my life
But while were floating in siesta
You search for bottles and for knives
Chorus:
Eb Fm
Well if you can reinvent my name
Eb Fm Db
Well if you can redirect my day
Eb Ab
I wanna be the king of Spain
And I wear my boots of Spanish leather
Oh while Im tightening my crown
Ill disappear in some flamenco
Perhaps Ill reach the other side
Why are you stamping my illusion?
Just cause I stole some eagle's wings
Because you named me as your lover
Like all I could be anything
Chorus:
Eb Fm
Well if you can reinvent my name
Eb Fm Db
Well if you can redirect my day
Eb Ab
I wanna be the king of Spain
