Song: I Could Be A King
Artist: The Dunwells
Album: Blind Sighted Faith
Tabbed by: Patrick Gamache

This is a fairly easy song to play, so I decided to tab it out. I put in 
some extra stuff that makes it sound a little bit cooler (to mimic the 
second guitar and occasionally the banjo and the bass) if you are playing by 
yourself. The only difficult part about this song is the timing on the chord 
changes, but that comes with a little bit of practice. If you don't know 
some of the chords, here they are the way I play them:

D     |xx0232|
G     |320033|
A     |x02220|
Dsus4 |xx0233|
Dsus2 |xx0230|
G5    |355xxx|
F5    |133xxx|

INTRO
     D
Well down your tools and play the game
       G
of an ordinary fairy tale - at least in there you cannot fail.
     D
Get back to basics and play the child's way.
    G
At least in there you cannot get hurt - no rules and regulations there.

CHORUS
                    D
Cause I could be a king
               G
I could be anything I want
              D
I could be a poem
                  G
I could be some writing on the wall
                A                            G
I could be a super hero - staring down the barrel of a gun
               A                       G
I could be a piece of artwork fading into the sun

Dsus4       G
    Of an ordinary fairy tale - at least in there you cannot fail
       D                   Dsus4  D  Dsus2   D
It's a shame I know                       but I have to go
Dsus4     G
I've had something planned for weeks and weeks
A   G
   This situation's changed you see.

CHORUS
              D
I could be a king
               G
I could be anything I want
              D
I could be a poem
                  G
I could be some writing on the wall
                A                            G
I could be a super hero - staring down the barrel of a gun
               A                       G
I could be a piece of artwork fading into the sun. Yes I could be a king!

               A                       G
I could be a piece of artwork fading into the sun.
