King Of The Road Cifras

“King of the Road”
 
 
[Verse]
Am
Crack of dawn on a Sunday morn
        C       G       Am
and the convoys in full flow
Am
Pajero jeeps cars and vans
        C          G      Am
with the horse box on the tow
Am
Heading out to the edge of town
          C        G     Am
there’s a big race going down
Am
First nose to pass the two mile mark
   F           G           Am
is crowned the king of the road
 
Am
Remember Chip’n’pin and the Indian
       C       G        Am
in the class A free leg race
Am
When the Chip took the gold on the mullingar road,
   C          G       Am
it wasn’t the Indians day
Am
But the Indian has blood to win
       C           G        Am
He was bred by the big Gang Joyce
Am
for he’s sired the foals, worth their weight in gold
       C        G      Am
Taking home now many a race
 
 
[Chorus]
          F
When your hooring down the road
   C                      G               Am
at 90 mile an hour on the back of a sulky racer
         F                         C                           G                 F
with the wind in your hair and the reigns in your hands and the horse is in your favour
G                    Am
 Your King of the road
 
 
[Verse]
Am
There ain’t no flies on the Big Noise
        C           G      Am
If they are they’re paying rent
Am
When the Big Noise ran with I’m the Man
        C      G      Am
and the record he did break
Am                        C        G        Am
3:57 down the Dualer flat out on a two mile stretch
Am                       F                G        Am
Never be a swore looser, cough up now and pay your bets
 
 
[Chorus]
          F
When your hooring down the road
   C                      G               Am
at 90 mile an hour on the back of a sulky racer
         F                         C                           G                 F
with the wind in your hair and the reigns in your hands and the horse is in your favour
G                    Am
 Your King of the road
 
 
[Verse]
Am
14 spins and 14 wins
        C          G        Am
for the Streamline Sapphire mare
Am
with a record broke on the ringsend road
    C              G     Am
one morning in the Derry air
Am
Now Thomas Clark has left his mark with a
C         G        Am
fine bred coloured cob
Am
from the Love/Hate Big Noise Saphire
          F           G       Am
 crew all part of the Indians mob
 
 
[Chorus]
          F
When your hooring down the road
   C                      G               Am
at 90 mile an hour on the back of a sulky racer
         F                         C                           G                 F
with the wind in your hair and the reigns in your hands and the horse is in your favour
G                    Am
 Your King of the road
