Intro: ( D A G A ) x2

              D           A               G                A
Well he was, fueled by a lack, drew inspiration from a need
          D           A     G             A
So many problems to crack, and mouths to feed
  D              A          G                A
Crooked was the path, and brazen was the walk
          D              D                  G        C
A cocky swagger, up the ladder and could he ever talk

     D                 Em         D/F#  Em
The last hurrah? nah! I'd do it again
     D             Em                  D/F#                G
The Rascal King behind the bars or the one in front of them
     D                 Em         D/F#  Em
The last hurrah? nah! I'd do it again
     D             Em                  D/F#                G
The Rascal King behind the bars or the one in front of them

D            A       G              A
The love of God and constant contradictions
              D             A             G              A
With just a smile, wink or nod, what's stranger fact or fiction?
            D          A          G       A
And never ceasing to amaze, on a regular basis
       D             D               G                 C
First hand into his pocket or first fist into the faces

     D                 Em         D/F#  Em
The last hurrah? nah! I'd do it again
     D             Em                  D/F#                G
The Rascal King behind the bars or the one in front of them
     D                 Em         D/F#  Em
The last hurrah? nah! I'd do it again
     D             Em                  D/F#                G
The Rascal King behind the bars or the one in front of them

D            A                G                  A
A legendary character (when?) only then (where?) only there (do it again)
D            A                G                  A
A hero or a hooligan?  well, that part's never clear (do it again)
D                     A                  G            A
Pride or shame, it's all the same, who's innocent or who's to blame? (do it again)
D            D                 G (hold)         
Politics or just a game?  well in the end they knew his name

The last hurrah? nah! I'd do it again

The Rascal King behind the bars or the one in front of them
