Intro: F#F# D MajorD E MajorE (4x) F#F#

       D MajorD E MajorE F#F#       D MajorD E MajorE
  Blues is king, a beautiful thing
 F#F#         D MajorD   E MajorE
  You just don't know whenever
      F#F#
  You're done by the one you love
 F#F#          D MajorD E MajorE
  And the joke's on you
 F#F#             D MajorD E MajorE
  If you don't know it's true
 F#F#          D MajorD  E MajorE
  If you lose your dreams
      F#F#
  You'll know what I'm thinking of

E MajorE D7D7+       A7A7+ D7D7+     A7A7+
  Yeah, blues is king, so let it ring
 D7D7+    A7A7+     G+G         E MajorE
  Surrender do, to the sound so real and true
  D7D7+      A7A7+ D7D7+      A7A7+
  And relax your mind, go on, you'll be fine
 D7D7+     A7A7+        G+G    C7C7+
  Surrender do, 'cause you'll never displace it
    Am7Am7    Eb MajorEb  FF  G+G  Eb MajorEb G7G7+
  So face it, blues is king

 F#F#        D MajorD E MajorE F#F#    D MajorD E MajorE
  As the sun descends, rain begins
 F#F#        D MajorD E MajorE   F#F#
  Everything in view is a dull shade of blue
 F#F#         D MajorD E MajorE F#F#       D MajorD E MajorE
  And the traffic sounds, the lights uptown
 F#F#         D MajorD  E MajorE   F#F#
  Make a sad and uninviting scene to walk into

E MajorE D7D7+          A7A7+
  But the blue of the night
 D7D7+        A7A7+
  Everything in daylight
 D7D7+       A7A7+       G+G         E MajorE
  Don't even begin, to be as blue as the mood I'm in
 D7D7+      A7A7+ D7D7+     A7A7+
  You go out alone, on their way home
 D7D7+       A7A7+  G+G    C7C7+
  I'm wandering on, remembering only
       Am7Am7     Eb MajorEb  FF  G+G  Eb MajorEb G+G
  That I'm lonely and blues is king

 F#F#      D MajorD E MajorE F#F#       D MajorD E MajorE
  Blues is king, a beautiful thing
 F#F#         D MajorD   E MajorE
  You just don't know whenever
      F#F#
  You're torn by the one you love
 F#F#           D MajorD E MajorE
  And the joke's on you
 F#F#             D MajorD E MajorE
  If you don't know it's true
 F#F#          D MajorD E MajorE
  If you lose your dreams
      F#F#
  You'll know what I'm thinking of


E MajorE D7D7+        A7A7+ D7D7+     A7A7+
  Yeah, blues is king, so let it ring
 D7D7+     A7A7+     G+G         E MajorE
  Surrender do, to the sound so real and true
 D7D7+        A7A7+ D7D7+         A7A7+
  Just relax your mind, go on, you'll be fine
 D7D7+     A7A7+        G+G    C7C7+
  Surrender do, 'cause you'll never displace it
    Am7Am7    Eb MajorEb  FF  G+G  Eb MajorEb G+G Eb7Eb7+ FF G+G
