King's Call Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][G]

[Verse 1]
It was a [G]rainy [Em]night
[D]the night the king went down
Everybody was crying it seemed like
sadness [Em]had surrounded the [G]town
Me I went to the liquor [Em]store
And I bought [D]a bottle
of wine and a bottle of gin
I played his records all night
Drinking with [Em]a close, close friend

[Verse 2]
[Bm]Now some people say
that that ain't [Em]right
And [Am]some people say [G]nothing [Em]at all
But [Bm]even in the darkest of [Em]night
You can [Am]always hear the [G]king's [C]call
You can [Am]always hear the [G]king's [Em]call

[Interlude 1]
[G]

[Verse 3]
Well they put [G]him away [Em]in Memphis
[D]Six feet beneath the clay
Everybody was crying
Everybody said [Em]it was a plain grey day
[G]

[Verse 4]
Me I went to the liquor store
[Em]And I bought another b[D]ottle
of wine and another bottle of gin
I played his records all night
And I [Em]got drunk all over again
[Bm]Now some

[Verse 5]
people say that
[Em]that ain't right
That ain't right
[Am]And some [G]people say nothing at [Em]all
I say nothing
But [Bm]even in the darkest of [Em]night
You could [Am]always hear the king's [G]call[C]
You could [Am]always hear
the [Em]king's call

[Verse 6]
[Em]
I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
[G][Em][D][Em]
[G][Em][D]
And I'd rather go on
hearing your [Em]lies
Than to go on living without [G]you

[Verse 7]
[Bm]Now some people say that
[Em]that ain't right
[Am]And some people say [G]nothing
at [Em]all I say nothing
But [Bm]even in the [G]darkest of [Em]night
You could [Am]always hear the king's [G]call[C]
You could [Am]always hear the
[G]king's [C]call[Cm]
You could [Am]always hear the king's [Em]call
Now the stage is bare and
I'm standing here
They might as well [G]bring
[Em]the [G]curtain down[Em]
I cried the night the king [G]died

[Outro 1]
[Em]
