It's good to be king and have your own way
Get a feeling of peace at the end of the day
And when your bulldog barks and your canary sings
You're out there with winners, it's good to be king

Yeah, I'll be king when dogs get wings
Can I help it if I still dream time to time
(guitar solo over verse chords)

It's good to be king and have your own world
It helps to make friends, it's good to meet girls
A sweet little queen, who can't run away
It's good to be king, whatever it pays (no riff)

Why do the lazy folks think it's alright to leave the chords off the other verses. C'mon! If I just want to see the words I wouldn't come to this site!

Good tab of a great song!
I'd suggest using a Dsus2 (x-x-0-2-3-0) in the verses, which makes this "e" ring out over all the chords, like Petty does too.

Yes, that Dsus2 is what I see him play in the videos!
