Verse 1
Am
There's this band,
G
called the Crimson Kings
Am
Come from a- Carolina, Tennessee
G
Make a stand, across wild strings
Old dreadnoughts and drop-
Am
down D's
G
Our roots run deep, through the tough
Am
As true to life in some ways as mandolin
G
We don't flinch, oh, we don't bluff
For our hearts have been kissed
by every wind
Am
Verse 2

Am
There are some who can arise
Em
above my fate
Others just can't seem
Am

to pray
Then there are those that are condemned

by the gods to write
G
They a- sparkle and a- fade

Verse 3
Am
G
Now, we'll run, we're the reckless kind
But we have not turned our
Am
backs on the saviour choir
G
See each life, all center twined
'Cause we've come together
Am
for the wheels on fire
Now some don't know,
G
that they are blessed
Am
Perhaps this is what gives us our means
Well I might be wrong, oh,
G
never the less
Sweet mother of pearl say a prayer
Am
for a Crimson King
