Here's another standard-tuned version, with much easier chords than the E version,
but the capo set rather high (4). If you just have to play in standard tuning, in
the key of the album track, I recommend this one.
King of the World
Point of Grace
Tuning: Standard, Capo 4 (true key: Gb Major)
Time: 3/4, Tempo: ~150bpm (~50 counted in “one”)
Intro:
[Verse 1:]
Spinning around on the tops of his feet,
Smiles of the angels could not be so sweet.
Wide blue eyes and piggy tail swirls
She’s her daddy's girl.
[Verse 2:]
‘Cause he knows the jokes that always make her laugh
Takes her for ice cream instead of her nap.
At the end of the day by the light of the moon,
They turn up the music in their living room, and she yells
[Chorus:]
Dance me, dance me around, ‘till my feet don’t ever touch down!
‘Cause there’s nothing better than being your girl,
And if I am your princess, then daddy,
You are the king of the world.
[Verse 3:]
It’s funny how life moves in circles of time
To think not so long ago that face was mine
Houses get smaller, we take different names
But some things in life stay the same.
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Some day she’ll go off and find a life of her own,
And marry a good man and make a happy home.
Until she comes back and sees with those same eyes
What time cannot disguise...
[Verse 4:]
She walks through the door with that look on her face,
‘Cause daddy's brown hair has all turned to gray.
They talk for hours, they cry and they laugh,
watchin’ old movies and thinkin’ back.
Just as she turns to go,
She says, “Hey Dad, how ‘bout one for the road?”
Dance me, dance me around till my feet don't ever touch...
Down!
[Final Chorus:]
Dance me, dance me around, ‘till my feet don’t ever touch down!
‘Cause there’s nothing better than being your girl,
Oh no, there’s nothing better than being your girl,
And if I am your princess, then daddy, (extra measure)
You are the king of the world,
king of... the world.

Spinning around on the tops of his feet,
Smiles of the angels could not be... so sweet.
