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.
MIb
The king of broken hearts doesn't ask much from his friends
SIb
And he has quite a few of them
SOL DOm
They know he'll understand
FA SIb MIb MIb SIb
That's just the way it goes.
MIb
The king of broken hearts doesn't know he's a king
SIb
He's trying to forget other things
SOL DOm
Like some ol' chilly scenes
FA SIb MIb MIb SIb
He's walking through alone.
FA
CHORUS: He talks to angels and the stars start to spin
SIb
He thinks of troubles that he's gotten in
DO
He recalls how his heart got broken
FA
And how it's still that way.
MIb
The king of broken hearts is so sad and wise
SIb
He can smile while he's crying inside
SOL DOm
We know he'll be brave tonight
FA SIb MIb MIb SIb
'Cause he's the king of broken hearts.
SOLO (Eb Bb G Cm F Bb)
CHORUS
MIb
The king of broken hearts thinks that he's an old fool
SIb
He's a little bit like me and you
SOL DOm
So what's a king like that supposed to do
FA RE
With all that blue time
SOL DOm
We know he'll be brave tonight
FA MIb
'Cause he's the king of broken hearts
MIb SIb
He'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:
MIb x65343
SIb 688766
SOL 355433
DOm x35543
FA 133211
D;x5777x
as I think they tend to blend a little better with the vocals.
