Roger McGuinn (born James McGuinn III) is most famous for being a founding member, singer, guitarist, and songwriter in The Byrds. Since that band's demise he has had moderate success as a solo artist, working with many other artists, including Bob Dylan and Tom Petty. Some of his solo material has appeared in films, such as 1969's Easy Rider. Roger, along with the other Byrds members, was honored with an induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1991.

KING OF THE HILL ----------------
Intro: A (for about 4 bars, slowly increasing the volume), then
F#mABmDF#m
A L.A.'s asleep C#m you roll up your window DBm The night air is cold DE The freeway is clear A In a green Gucci bag C#m Are your prized posessions DBm The jewels of your mind DE To hold back the fear
Chorus:
F#m And when monday comes round A There's a high lonesome sound BmDF#m And she follows you down for the kill F#m And a white blinding light A Makes it all seem so right BmDF#m And you feel like a king of the hill
Verse 2:
The driveway is long Your princess is lovely Your servants all wait For your knock on the door How many years Will you crawl through this castle So satisfied And still wanting more
Chorus:
Verse 3: The guests have arrived With all the right faces But you missed the ball In that room down the hall It's sunrise again The driveway is empty The crystal is cracked There's blood on the wall
Chorus x2:
Chords A x02220 or 577655 (barre 5th fret) F#m 244222 Bm x24432 D xx0232 or x57775 C#m x46654 E 022100 or x79997
