 A                  G/A
Someone told me you got to be free
         A                      G/A
Someone told me to stand in the rear
 A                    G/A
Keep on searchin' for kings in the street
          A                           G/A
Keep on cryin' for something that's clear

Chorus:
        Dmaj7             Amaj7
You are one more posse to pass in the night
Dmaj7              Amaj7
One more con to conceal
Dmaj7             C#m7
One more tiger to paint on a stripe
Bm7
One more player to deal

Political poachers push plump packages
past pacified places
Concerned citizens cry crude conduct,
'cause Captain Command

Don't do dreams, do dreary drivel drive,
doctor, daddy divine
Prize shipment tonight, tomorrow tame tempers
to touch tender time

Chorus - x2

Fmaj7    Dmaj7              Amaj7
It takes one more moment of time in your life
Dmaj7               Amaj7
One more light to reveal
Dmaj7                 C#m7
One more place in the sun to turn ripe
Bm7
One more kingdom to feel

Gmaj9   Dmaj7             Amaj7
You are one more posse to pass in the night
Dmaj7              Amaj7
One more con to conceal
Dmaj7             C#m7
One more tiger to paint on a stripe
Bm7
One more player to deal

Fmaj7    Dmaj7              Amaj7
It takes one more moment of time in your life
Dmaj7               Amaj7
One more light to reveal
Dmaj7                 C#m7
One more place in the sun to turn ripe
Bm7
One more kingdom to feel
