Intro 1
(E minor) (G major)
Verse 1
It was a (G major) rainy night (E minor)
(D major) the night the king went down
Everybody was crying it seemed like
sadness (E minor) had surrounded the town (G major)
Me I went to the liquor store (E minor)
And I bought a bottle (D major)
of wine and a bottle of gin
I played his records all night
Drinking with a close, (E minor) close friend
Verse 2
Now some (B minor) people say
that that ain't (E minor) right
And (A minor) some people say (G major) nothing at all (E minor)
But (B minor) even in the darkest of (E minor) night
You can (A minor) always hear the (G major) king's call (C major)
You can (A minor) always hear the (G major) king's (E minor) call
Interlude 1

Verse 3
Well they put (G major) him away in Memphis (E minor)
(D major) Six feet beneath the clay
Everybody was crying
Everybody said (E minor) it was a plain grey day
(G major)
Verse 4
Me I went to the liquor store
(E minor) And I bought another (D major) bottle
of wine and another bottle of gin
I played his records all night
And I (E minor) got drunk all over again
(B minor) Now some
Verse 5
people say that
(E minor) that ain't right
That ain't right
And some (A minor) people (G major) say nothing at all (E minor)
I say nothing
But (B minor) even in the darkest of (E minor) night
You could (A minor) always hear the king's (G major) call (C major)
You could (A minor) always hear
the (E minor) king's call
Verse 6
(E minor)
I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
(G major) (E minor) (D major) (E minor)
(G major) (E minor) (D major)
And I'd rather go on
hearing your lies (E minor)
Than to go on living without you (G major)
Verse 7
Now some (B minor) people say that
(E minor) that ain't right
And some (A minor) people say (G major) nothing
at all (E minor) I say nothing
But (B minor) even in the darkest (G major) of (E minor) night
You could (A minor) always hear the king's (G major) call (C major)
You could (A minor) always hear the
(G major) king's call (C major) (C minor)
You could (A minor) always hear the king's (E minor) call
Now the stage is bare and
I'm standing here
They might as well bring (G major)
(E minor) the (G major) curtain (E minor) down
I cried the night the king died (G major)
