Guitar chords with lyrics

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

              D E F#             D  E
    Blues is king, a beautiful thing
 F#                  D      E
    You just don't know whenever
            F#
    You're done by the one you love
 F#                    D  E
    And the joke's on you
 F#                          D  E
    If you don't know it's true
 F#                    D    E
    If you lose your dreams
            F#
    You'll know what I'm thinking of
E D7+              A7+ D7+         A7+
    Yeah, blues is king, so let it ring
  D7+        A7+          G                  E
    Surrender do, to the sound so real and true
    D7+            A7+ D7+            A7+
    And relax your mind, go on, you'll be fine
  D7+         A7+                G       C7+
    Surrender do, 'cause you'll never displace it
       Am7        Eb   F   G    Eb G7+
    So face it, blues is king

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

E D7+                   A7+
    But the blue of the night
 D7+               A7+
    Everything in daylight
 D7+             A7+             G                  E
    Don't even begin, to be as blue as the mood I'm in
 D7+            A7+ D7+         A7+
    You go out alone, on their way home
 D7+              A7+    G        C7+
    I'm wandering on, remembering only
              Am7         Eb   F   G    Eb G
    That I'm lonely and blues is king

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


E D7+               A7+ D7+         A7+
    Yeah, blues is king, so let it ring
 D7+          A7+         G                  E
    Surrender do, to the sound so real and true
 D7+                A7+ D7+                 A7+
    Just relax your mind, go on, you'll be fine
 D7+          A7+                G        C7+
    Surrender do, 'cause you'll never displace it
       Am7        Eb   F   G    Eb G  Eb7+ F G
    So face it, blues is king
