[Verse 1]
 
Bm  C
Heard he was born as a beast and a ghost
           Bm  C
On the East of a coast, where they eat you for jokes, uh
       Bm  C
I know a guy who said his mom knew a man
           Em            G            D
Whose mother's sister saw him in the mall one time
      Bm  C
Heard he was high and he rode to the sky
          Bm  C
And it opened and God played a song he recorded
     Bm  C
He wrote it down
           Em        G              D
But he only play the record for his wife sometimes
 Bm  C
Heard he survived, on an island with Vikes
              Bm  C
That provided the Valkyries, sirens, and pirates
    Bm  C
Don't know the guy, yeah, uh
          Em            G             D
But they talk about his verses in the night sometimes
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C       Bm Em      G
Big bang, the six, the seven
D       Bm C
Hey hey, the king, the legend
C       Bm Em        G
Big bang, the truth, the weapon
D       Bm C
Hey hey, the king, the legend
C       Bm Em       G
Big bang, the six, the seven
D       Bm C
Hey hey, the king, the legend
C       Bm Em         G
Big bang, the truth, the weapon
D       Bm C
Hey hey, the king, the legend
 
 
[Verse 2]

Bm C
 
   Bm   C
Heard he was formed from the lights that are Northern
        Bm  C
The Rock of Gibraltar, he once got an offer
         Bm  C
From Lucifer's daughter to bow to the gods
         Em              G               D
So he'd keep his verses sharper than a knife sometimes
       Bm  C
Heard he was warned that a hero gets torn
         Bm  C
Between fame and adornment and loses his sword, so
     Bm  C
He shot the fame down, uh
           Em         G             D
But he keep a mask on him if the sign's in the sky
 Bm  C
Heard he was happy so no one could gas him
           Bm  C
Or force him to dance like a monkey for assets
  Bm  C
He loves his life
         Em           G            D
But he keep a pen sharp enough to write one time
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C       Bm Em      G
Big bang, the six, the seven
D       Bm C
Hey hey, the king, the legend
C       Bm Em        G
Big bang, the truth, the weapon
D       Bm C
Hey hey, the king, the legend
C       Bm Em       G
Big bang, the six, the seven
D       Bm C
Hey hey, the king, the legend
C       Bm Em         G
Big bang, the truth, the weapon
D       Bm C
Hey hey, the king, the legend
