Subject: The King of Broken Hearts by Mark Chesnutt
The King of Broken Hearts by Mark Chesnutt Written by Jim Lauderdale
------------------------------------------
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.
Eb
The king of broken hearts doesn't ask much from his friends
Bb
And he has quite a few of them
GCm
They know he'll understand
FBbEbEbBb
That's just the way it goes.
Eb
The king of broken hearts doesn't know he's a king
Bb
He's trying to forget other things
GCm
Like some ol' chilly scenes
FBbEbEbBb
He's walking through alone.
F
CHORUS: He talks to angels and the stars start to spin
Bb
He thinks of troubles that he's gotten in
C
He recalls how his heart got broken
F
And how it's still that way.
Eb
The king of broken hearts is so sad and wise
Bb
He can smile while he's crying inside
GCm
We know he'll be brave tonight
FBbEbEbBb
'Cause he's the king of broken hearts.
SOLO (EbBbGCmFBb)
CHORUS
Eb
The king of broken hearts thinks that he's an old fool
Bb
He's a little bit like me and you
GCm
So what's a king like that supposed to do
FD
With all that blue time
GCm
We know he'll be brave tonight
FEb
'Cause he's the king of broken hearts
EbBb
He's the king of broken hearts.
Ok. And here are the chords with a capo at the third fret:
Eb=CBb=GG=ECm=AmF=DD=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:
Eb:x65343
Bb:688766
G:355433
Cm:x35543
F:133211
D;x5777x
as I think they tend to blend a little better with the vocals.
