Verse 1
(G major) (F sharp major) (G major) (F sharp major) I'm (D major) a (G major) man
who
caught his dreams,
(D major) almost (C major) a king it (A minor) seems,
for (D major) wealth and fame
and even I could (G major) measure.
I collected many things, (B minor)
pearls and (C major) jewels and diamond ring (A minor) s,
For the (D major) woman who became
my greatest treas (G major) ure. (F sharp major)
But (G major) the king was seldom home,
for the king (C major) dom must be (A minor) run
And the (D major) queen was there alone
for nights unend (F sharp major) ing
Now (D major) (G minor) what's a (G major) king to (B minor) do
when the queen (C major) stops loving you
(A minor) And you (D major) know she's gone for good,
there's no pretending (G major)
Now the man who would be king (B minor)
is (E minor) losing everything
(A minor) The crown (D major) of loneliness he's (C major) wear (G major) ing
In a house that once was home
(F sharp major) In (B minor) a chair (E minor) that was a throne
(A minor) Alone (D major) you'll find the man
who would be king (G major) (F sharp major) (B major)
(F sharp major) Now (D major) look (G major) ing back I (F sharp major) see
I (G major) gave (C major) everything (B major) but (A minor) me
(A flat minor) And (D major) I was all she ever really needed (G major)
Now the fool who (F sharp major) would be king
(B minor) Knows all his (B major) wealth an (A minor) d fame
Him (D major) back the love that
slipped away unheeded (F sharp major)
(G major) Now (E minor) the (G major) man who would be king (B minor)
Is (E minor) losing (A minor) everything
The crown (D major) of loneliness I'm (E minor) wear (B major) ing
(G major) In a house that once was (B minor) home
In a chair (E minor) that once was home (A minor)
Alone (D major) you'll find the man
who would be king (G major)
Now the man who would be king
(B minor) Is (E minor) losing everything
(A minor) The crown (D major) of loneliness I'm (C major) wearing
(G major) In a house that once was (B minor) home
In a (E minor) chair that was a throne
(A minor) Alone (D major) you would find
the man who would be
king (G major) (F sharp major) (G major) (C major) (E minor) (F sharp major) you
