Sun Is King chords by Laura Veirs

Chords with lyrics

key of G#G# major
Be sure to accent the alternating bass notes occurring on the low E MajorE and A,
It bounces back and forth between those two.

Chords relative to capo

E MajorE
even the most shimmering rain
                   A augmentedA
empties out the sky and comes to an end
E MajorE
we all know that the sun is king
      A augmentedA            E MajorE
there's no messing with our orbiting
  BB                   E MajorE
so why is he standing in his own backyard?
D MajorD           A augmentedA         E MajorE
crying at his falling down house of card?


did you see the ice in his eye?
did you see the dagger caught in his smile?
innocent as a summer flower
with a serpent coiled under his collar
so why is he standing in his own backyard?
crying at his falling down house of card?

The guitar solo follows the same chord structure as if going through the verse and chorus once.

Now, if you don't have a capo, which I can sympathize with, then here are the
actual names of those chords.

Verse:
AbAb - C#C#

Chorus:
Eb MajorEb - AbAb
