Brooks & Dunn - When we were kings


Intro - A - E - D - A - 2x's


(verse 1)
A                      E
Tommy got off at the Texeco,
D                 A
Came bustin in to Norma's Cafe,
A                E
Said come on man we gotta go,
         D                          A
Yea you know how those party girls hate to wait,


(verse 2)
A                               E
Filled up his daddy's trunk with ice and beer,
D                  A
He was always stealin the old man's car,
A                    E
Radio never came in too clear,
      D                         A
Slap bang out one on my piece of junk guitar,


(chorus)
F#m         G
yea we ruled, from the blacktop,
D                         A
To the leather where, the party never stops,
A              E
yea there was power in the night,
F#m                  D     
Spirit was alive when we would sing, our,
A          E          D - G
Sha na na na na na na na,
              A    E              D  -  A
When we were kings, when we were kings,


(verse 3)
Sitting around the fire one night,
Tell one called my name,
Turned around and said what do you think,
Had his arm around the prettiest girl I'd ever seen,
Kissed hre hard and took another drink,

(verse 4)
I said you must be an angel puttin up with this guy,
She laughed and said play me some Rolling Stones,
I couldn't let that chance go by yea,
I sang You can't always get what you want,

(chorus)
F#m         G
yea we ruled, from the blacktop,
D                         A
To the leather where, the party never stops,
A              E
yea there was power in the night,
F#m                  D     
Spirit was alive when we would sing, our,
A          E          D - G
Sha na na na na na na na,
              A    E              D  -  A
When we were kings, when we were kings,

(verse 5)
Yea that was the fall of '69,
I guess Uncle Sam was hedgin' his better,
Tommy's number came up he said I'll be fine,
I'll teach em' a lesson they'll never forget,

(verse 6)
Angel and I went to wave good-bye,
I guess we always thought we'd see him again,
You know I took her out after that a couple of times,
But we always wound up talkin bout him,


(chorus)
F#m         G
yea we ruled, from the blacktop,
D                         A
To the leather where, the party never stops,
A              E
yea there was power in the night,
F#m                      D     
Spirit was alive when we would sing, our,
A          E          D - G
Sha na na na na na na na,
              A
When we were kings,
A          E          D - G
Sha na na na na na, na, na,
              A   - E - D
