Honky-tonk devils glitter in

Like royal rats in kitten skin
                                           Em
And all the blondes drop their panties and cry
       C                    D  C
To the father's first lullaby
   D      G        C D        G  Em

To kill the man behind the crowd
      C                D   G
Would be viewed as amateur
                           Em   
Because the king is invisible

The king is invisible
                  D       C
And death is a profession
   D      G         C D         G    Em
So let me paint you     with my love
        C  D           G
With my love, with my love
