(riff)
I was born down in Dallas, raised up in the city of the wind 
Yeah, I could spend a month of Sundays, talkin' about the places I've been 

          E7                            E7/G#
Yeah, I played the blues in England, I visit with the queen
     A                         C
She really dug my style, but queen is not my thing
     E                      B                          E
I'm goin' back to Dallas, living in the palace of the king 

(riff)
Hey, they wanted me in Russia, but Moscow was much too cold 
Yeah, I could have played down in Denmark, but the girls was much too old 

              E7                          E7/G#
Yeah, let me tell you something funny, I don't know what they say 
         A                         C
I can't find a Chitlins Pizza for any price I pay
     E                     B
I'm goin' back to Dallas, living in the palace of the king


      D            A             E
Oh, living in the palace of the king
           D             A                G       B7
Yeah, I'm living in the palace, gives me service quite the same yeah 


(riff)
I can make you smile with every note I play 
I can make you happy playin' the blues my way 
     E                    B                           E
I'm goin back to Dallas, living in the palace of the king

     D             A             E
Oh, living in the palace of the king 
           D             A          
Yeah, I'm living in the palace, never had service quite the same yeah 

    E7                     E7/G#        
I been around the world, I have many things,
 A                               C
nothing makes me satisfied, but this blues I sing
     E                     B
I'm goin' back to Dallas, living in the palace of the king


repeat this and fade out:
           A                          E
Yeah I'm living in the palace of the king 
 A                           E
Living in the palace of the king...
