Guitar chords with lyrics


Intro: F# D E (4x) F#

       D E F#       D E
  Blues is king, a beautiful thing
 F#         D   E
  You just don't know whenever
      F#
  You're done by the one you love
 F#          D E
  And the joke's on you
 F#             D E
  If you don't know it's true
 F#          D  E
  If you lose your dreams
      F#
  You'll know what I'm thinking of

E D7+       A7+ D7+     A7+
  Yeah, blues is king, so let it ring
 D7+    A7+     G         E
  Surrender do, to the sound so real and true
  D7+      A7+ D7+      A7+
  And relax your mind, go on, you'll be fine
 D7+     A7+        G    C7+
  Surrender do, 'cause you'll never displace it
    Am7    Eb  F  G  Eb G7+
  So face it, blues is king

 F#        D E F#    D E
  As the sun descends, rain begins
 F#        D E   F#
  Everything in view is a dull shade of blue
 F#         D E F#       D E
  And the traffic sounds, the lights uptown
 F#         D  E   F#
  Make a sad and uninviting scene to walk into

E D7+          A7+
  But the blue of the night
 D7+        A7+
  Everything in daylight
 D7+       A7+       G         E
  Don't even begin, to be as blue as the mood I'm in
 D7+      A7+ D7+     A7+
  You go out alone, on their way home
 D7+       A7+  G    C7+
  I'm wandering on, remembering only
       Am7     Eb  F  G  Eb G
  That I'm lonely and blues is king

 F#      D E F#       D E
  Blues is king, a beautiful thing
 F#         D   E
  You just don't know whenever
      F#
  You're torn by the one you love
 F#           D E
  And the joke's on you
 F#             D E
  If you don't know it's true
 F#          D E
  If you lose your dreams
      F#
  You'll know what I'm thinking of


E D7+        A7+ D7+     A7+
  Yeah, blues is king, so let it ring
 D7+     A7+     G         E
  Surrender do, to the sound so real and true

  Just relax your mind, go on, you'll be fine
 D7+     A7+        G    C7+
