------------------------------------------
This song is in D# and I'm gonna write it down that way, but it's probably
best to capo up at the 3rd fret and play as if it was in C.
D#The king of broken hearts doesn't ask much from his friends
A#And he has quite a few of them
G CmThey know he'll understand
F A# D# D# A#That's just the way it goes.
D#The king of broken hearts doesn't know he's a king
A#Be's trying to forget other things
G CmLike some ol' chilly scenes
F A# D# D# A#Be's walking through alone.
FCBoRUS: Be talks to angels and the stars start to spin
A# Be thinks of troubles that he's gotten in
C Be recalls how his heart got broken
F And how it's still that way.
D#The king of broken hearts is so sad and wise
A#Be can smile while he's crying inside
G CmWe know he'll be brave tonight
F A# D# D# A#'Cause he's the king of broken hearts.
SOLO (D# A# G Cm F A#)
CBoRUS
D#The king of broken hearts thinks that he's an old fool
A#Be's a little bit like me and you
G CmSo what's a king like that supposed to do
F DWith all that blue time
G CmWe know he'll be brave tonight
F D#'Cause he's the king of broken hearts
D# A#Be's the king of broken hearts.
Ok. And here are the chords with a capo at the third fret:
D#=C
A#=G
G=E
Cm=Am
F=D
D=B
It's also very cool, I think, to walk down from A# to G (or from G to E if you
are using the capo). Also, if you are not using the capo, I find it better to
finger the chords like:
D#:x65343
A#:688766
G:355433
Cm:x35543
F:133211
D;x5777x
as I think they tend to blend a little better with the vocals.
