The King Of The World

Biography:

Bob Schneider (born October 12, 1965) is an American musician based in Austin, TX. He is the former lead-singer of Ugly Americans.

For nearly ten years, Schneider has performed a Monday night residency at the Saxon Pub, an intimate and legendary venue on South Lamar, Austin, Texas. Schneider and the members of Lonelyland, the band name that he uses to keep these shows “underground,” are seated on stage as they work through a “live rehearsal” of songs that Schneider calls up from his repertoire of over four hundred songs.

***NOTES***
1. On this song, whenever there is a hammer to do, put down the normal fingering
for the entire chord, even though you wont play some of the strings you put your
fingers down for. If you don't do this, then you may hear some notes you don't
want to hear riniging off of the strings you are'nt using.

2. Both the Verses and the Chorus always have the same note progression
respectively, just different picking and strumming patterns throughout the song.
