Verse 1
There's this band, (A minor)
called the Crimson King (G major) s
Come from a- Carolina, Tennessee (A minor)
Make a stand, across wild (G major) strings
Old dreadnoughts and drop-
down (A minor) D's
Our roots run deep, through the tough (G major)
As true to life in some ways as mandolin (A minor)
We don't flinch, oh, we don't bluff (G major)
For our hearts have been kissed
by every wind

There are some who can (A minor) arise
above my fate (E minor)
Others just can't seem
to pray (A minor) (E minor)

Now, we'll run, (A minor) we're the reckless kind (G major)
But we have not turned our

See each life, all center twined (G major)
'Cause we've come together
for the wheels on (A minor) fire
Now some don't know,
that they are blessed (G major)
Perhaps this is what gives us our means (A minor)
Well I might be wrong, oh,
never the less (G major)
Sweet mother of pearl say a prayer
for a Crimson (A minor) King
