THE KING OF ROCK 'N' ROLL - Prefab Sprout
transcribed by Rasmus Sylvester Bryder
---------------------------------------

The Bb7sus4/f's in the chorus can be replaced with Dbadd9/f freely,
it does sound better in points. Just keep the g in Ebadd11 in the top and
the a flat in the bottom (ab-bb-eb-g).

VERSE 1
---------------------------------
Ebadd11                            Dbadd9
All my lazy teenage boasts are now high precision ghosts
            Bb7sus4                   Bbm7/ab      Eb
And they're coming round the track to haunt me.
         Ebadd11                    Dbadd9
When she looks at me and laughs I remind her of the facts
        Bb7sus4               Bbm7/ab      Eb
I'm the king of rock 'n' roll completely
Ab           Eb/g              Db/f
    Up from        suede shoes to my baby blues

CHORUS
---------------------------------
Ebadd11          Cm7           Dbadd9/bb    Bb7sus4/f
        Hot dog, jumping frog, Albu-------querque
Ebadd11          Cm7           Dbadd9/bb    Bb7sus4/f
        Hot dog, jumping frog, Albu-------querque

VERSE 2
---------------------------------
The dream helps you forget you ain't never danced a step
You were never fleet of foot, hippy.
All the pathos you can keep for the children in the street
For the vision I have had is sweeping
New broom, this room, sweep it clean

CHORUS

BRIDGE
---------------------------------
Bbm9
High kickin' dandy, 
Ebadd11                Cm7                   Dbadd9/bb
Fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah
            Bb7sus4/f
Long legged candy
Ebadd11                Cm7                   Dbadd9/bb   Bb7sus4/f
Fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah

VERSE 3
---------------------------------
Now my rhythm ain't so hot, but it's the only friend I've got
I'm the king of rock'n roll completely
All the pretty birds have flown now I'm dancing on my own
I'm the king of rock'n roll completely
Up from, suede shoes to my baby blues

CHORUS

BRIDGE

            Bb7sus4/f
Long legged candy
Ebadd11                Cm7                   Dbadd9/bb
Fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah
