[Verse 1]
D               F            G D
Oh, I'm leaning on a rail
                   F             G        D
Letting my eyes roam over the plain
D             F            G    D
Oh, I'm laughing on my break
                    F            G              D
Feeling like a captive on a long chain

[Pre-Chorus 1]
G
Watch the people pick up sticks
G
Big boss man cracks his whip
G                                                    D
It's serious but we laugh to keep from crying (whoa, crying)
G
Spouting out the company line
G
Everything here's just fine
G                                                    D
He says he cares about me but he's lying (whoa, lying)

[Chorus]
Am             C          G
And up, up in the big house

The king of the hill

D F G

[Verse 2]
D              F                G          D
Oh, I'm watching the boss man
                         F   G                     D
Talking to his sister with the dirty hands
D               F           G    D
They sit, cussing at the rules
                              F              G             D
Wishing they could lose me as fast as they can

[Pre-Chorus 2]
G
He's got me in the roughest rig
G
He thinks I took his brother's gig
G                                                D
People say they've got the game rigged (whoa, rigged)
G
His daddy gave him everything
G
A job and a house and his earring
G                                         D
Why does he think that I'm so threatening, (whoa, so bad)

[Chorus 2]
Am        C                  G
And up, up in the big house
                  D F G
King of the hill
Am             C              G
And there, driving the big cat

King of the hill

[Pre-Chorus 3]
G
Watch the people pick up bricks
G
King of the hill with his nightstick
G
Caught up in accounting tricks
G
Throw a bone to the poor hicks
G
Got some candy, take a lick
G
Great white hope, shooting bricks
G                                        D
Time to let us all share the wealth (whoa, the wealth)
G
Getting coffee for the big stick
G
Hand in his pants at the skin flick
G
Leisure suit, but thinks he's slick
G
Lots of poisons, take your pick
G
Mama, mama, mama come quick
G
Feeling like I'm getting sick
G
Have you noticed any nervous tics
G                                                D
Think I'd better take care of myself (whoa, myself)
