Ol' King Kong
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
[G] Well ol? King Kong was a helluva gorilla
he [C] stood four stories [G] tall
they shot him with missles from aeroplanes
but [D] he refused to fall
with [G] Faye Ray in the palm of his hand
he?ll [C] walk right over the [G] world
?cause just like me he would do anything
[C] just to keep his [G] girl
Yeah, [C] ol? King Kong was just a little monkey
com-[G]-pared to my love for you
if [D] you treat right, every night
and [C] to do what you wanted [D] to
[G] I said it?s bigger than both of us
and [C] now you know it?s [G] true
ol? King Kong was just a little monkey
com-[C]-pared to my love for [G] you
[G] Now when King Kong met Godzilla
he [C] made that lizard [G] crawl
it wasn?t until he put his woman down
that she [D] saw those big tears fall
and [G] when you?re walking next to me
I [C] swear I can fill his [G] shoes
ol? King Kong was just a litttle monkey
[C] compared to my love for [G] you
ol? King Kong was just a litttle monkey
