God Save The King
Phil Pritchett
Beginning (play twice): G-F-C
D-C-G
G D
Another night in another town in another smoky place
D Am C
Me and the Full Band were sitting backstage looking at the
D
face
G D
Of the lead singer of the opening act who had just left the stage
Am C D
I saw youthful greatness in his eyes despite his age
And he said,
Take a picture why don’t ya’, many others have done the same
Cause I was once called Elvis Presley, but now Jackson is my name
We sat there in silence as reality set in
And I had so many things to ask him and didn’t know where to begin
Chorus:
Am
God save the king
Em G D
He said its not as easy as it looks
C G
To live as royalty
Am
God save the king
Em G D
He said I never died I was just tired
C G
Of living in Tennessee
(Go into beginning)
His voice was undeniably of the man that he claimed to be
He wore a Poor David’s Pub t-shirt and a faded pair of jeans
The smell of a bar at midnight, man this is what it’s all about
You know I tried to get back for years, but the Colonel sold me out
Chorus
(There’s a little bridge that’s just G and C back and forth about three times)
Chorus
(Go into beginning)
Think I got it. If not send the right ones. Guarantee you this is the only tab
for this song so far on the internet.

the intro sounds more to me like G-F-C/C-F-G I could be wrong though but that sounds better to me -thines423 | 7/22/2005 | sounds good. been lookin for this tab for awhile, thanks -bigben5983 | 9/26/2005 | Very good. Intro sounds perfect to me, and I've been looking for this one for a while too, so thanks. -Murph316 | 12/16/2005 | Intro is on spot. Been playing this for a while now. Just needed a lyric refresher. I prefer "Stubbs BBQ t-shirt" over "Poor Davids pub t-shirt." No offense to Poor Davids, I just heard it the other way first and it stuck. -danthemand112 | 8/24/2014 |
