  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

  

  G               Cm

  They know he'll understand

  

  F                      Bb     Eb Eb Bb

  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

  

  G             Cm

  Like some ol' chilly scenes

  

  F                    Bb     Eb Eb Bb

  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

  

  G                Cm

  We know he'll be brave tonight

  

  F                       Bb            Eb Eb Bb

  'Cause he's the king of broken hearts.

  

  SOLO (Eb Bb G Cm F Bb)

  

  CHORUS

  

                                        Eb

  The king of broken hearts thinks that he's an old fool

  

                    Bb

  He's a little bit like me and you

  

  G                          Cm

  So what's a king like that supposed to do

  

  F                  D

  With all that blue time

  

  G                Cm

  We know he'll be brave tonight

  

  F                              Eb

  'Cause he's the king of broken hearts

  

  Eb                                 Bb

  He's the king of broken hearts.

  

  

  

  

  Ok. And here are the chords with a capo at the third fret:

  

  Eb=C

  Bb=G

  G=E

  Cm=Am

  F=D

  D=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.
