Dion – King Of The New York Streets (Guitar)

F#m
People call me the scandalizer,

D
The world was my appetizer,

E
I turned gangs into fertilizer,

F#m

[Verse 2]
[tab]F#m
I broke hearts like window panes,

D
For breakfast I'd eat nails and chains,

E
To my kingdom I'd proclaim,

F#m
King of the New York streets.

                        F#m
We walked all the same...

F#m
You know, I floored my accelerator,

D
All the way to the equator,

E
Just a local gladiator,

F#m
I'm king of the New York streets.

      D
Well, I was only sixteen years,

   A                 E
So what could I have known?

D
In my mind these passing years,

A                   E       F#m
The legend sure has grown.

F#m
Now, people come from miles around,

D
To see my royal tenement crown,

E
Always up Jack, never down,

F#m
King of the New York streets, check it out...

F#m
Schools gave me nothing needed,

D
To my throne I proceeded,

E
Every warning went unheeded,

F#m
King of the New York streets.

                   F#m
We walked always...

F#m
I stood tall from all this feelin'

D
I bumped my head on heaven's ceilin'

E
Shooting dice and double-dealin'

F#m
King of the New York streets

      D
Well, I was only sixteen years,

   A                 E
So what could I have known?

D
In my mind these passing years,

A                   E        F#m
The legend sure has grown.

F#m
You know, each time I jumped behind the wheel,

     D
Of a pin-striped custom Oldsmobile,

E
The guys would bow and the girls would squeal,

F#m
King of the New York streets.

F#m
Local bullies I deflated,

D
Back street jive that I translated,

E
Top Ten girls were all I dated,

F#m
King of the New York streets.

                    F#m
We walked the same...

F#m
I didn't need no bodyguard,

D
Huh, I just ruled from my backyard,

E
Living fast, living hard,

F#m
King of the New York streets.

F#m
Well, I was wise in my own eyes,

D
I woke one day and I realized,

         E
You know this attitude come from cocaine lies...
