King of Dreams

(Blackmore/Glover/Turner)

From "Slaves and Masters", 1990


Em
It doesn't matter if I'm right or wrong

It really doesn't mean a thing

It doesn't matter if you like my song

Em7  D/F#          A
As long as you can hear me sing

Em
'Cause I'm the thorn in every little girl's rose

You know I cut but never bleed

A shadow in the night, pure delight

Em7  D/F#          A               Am
I can satisfy your every need

Chorus

Em C Am D I'm a real smooth dancer, I'm fantasy man Em C Am D Master of illusion, magic touch in my hand Em C Am D All the stages are empty when I steal the scenes Em C Am D Em A beggar of love, second hand hero...King of Dreams
(Em) Don't make a difference what you got It doesn't matter what you lose Don't make a difference if you like it or not Em7 D/F# A Baby I'm gonna change your attitude Em 'Cause all around me there is mystery and wonder Now can't you see it in my eyes I'll crack the sky, make you feel the thunder Em7 D/F# A Am You'll never see through my disguise
I'm a real smooth dancer, I'm fantasy man Master of illusion, with my sleight of hand All the stages are empty when I steal the scenes A beggar for love, second hand hero... King of Dreams
All around, all around Emotional squeeze through again and again I know how to please you, your mind is on the bend Can't you feel the power, surrender in my arms Beyond the witching hour we're travelling on and on
I'm a real smooth dancer, I'm fantasy man Master of illusion, magic touch in my hand The stages are empty when I steal the scenes A beggar of love, second hand hero... King of Dreams I'm a real smooth dancer, fantasy man Master of illusion, sleight of hand The stages are empty when I steal the scenes A beggar for love... King of Dreams
