This song is in Eb 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.
EbThe king of broken hearts doesn't ask much from his friends
BbAnd he has quite a few of them
They know he'll understand
F Bb Eb Eb BbThat's just the way it goes.
EbThe king of broken hearts doesn't know he's a king
He's trying to forget other things
G CmLike some ol' chilly scenes
F Bb Eb Eb BbHe's walking through alone.
CHORUS: He talks to angels and the stars start to spin
BbHe thinks of troubles that he's gotten in
C
He recalls how his heart got broken
FAnd how it's still that way.
The king of broken hearts is so sad and wise
BbHe can smile while he's crying inside
G CmWe know he'll be brave tonight
'Cause he's the king of broken hearts.
SOLO (Eb Bb G Cm F Bb)
The king of broken hearts thinks that he's an old fool
He'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
We know he'll be brave tonight
F Eb'Cause he's the king of broken hearts
Eb BbHe's the king of broken hearts.
Ok. And here are the chords with a capo at the third fret:
Eb=C
Bb=G
G=E
Cm=Am
F=D
D=B
It's also very cool, I think, to walk down from Bb 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;x5777x
as I think they tend to blend a little better with the vocals.
