Subject: The King of Broken Hearts by Mark Chesnutt
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.
The king of broken hearts doesn t ask much from his friends
And he has quite a few of them
They know he ll understand
That s just the way it goes.
The king of broken hearts doesn t know he s a king
He s trying to forget other things
Like some ol chilly scenes
He s walking through alone.
CHORUS: He talks to angels and the stars start to spin
He thinks of troubles that he s gotten in
He recalls how his heart got broken
And how it s still that way.
The king of broken hearts is so sad and wise
He can smile while he s crying inside
We know he ll be brave tonight
Cause he s the king of broken hearts.
SOLO ( )
CHORUS
The king of broken hearts thinks that he s an old fool
He s a little bit like me and you
So what s a king like that supposed to do
With all that blue time
We know he ll be brave tonight
Cause he s the king of broken hearts
He s the king of broken hearts.
Ok. And here are the chords with a capo at the third fret:

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:
:x65343
:688766
:355433
:x35543
:133211
;x5777x
as I think they tend to blend a little better with the vocals.
