George Jones – The King (Guitar)

D
I was the best looking thing

                 G    D
She ever had her arms around

                                A       A7
At least that's what I told all over town

         D                                 G       D
It was a privilege for her to work just to keep me here

      G               D           A                       D
While I laid home and watched TV, sippin' on a cold, cold beer

  D                                 G          D
I told myself I had it made for the rest of my life

                                    A         A7
A dream come true for one who never gave his share

   D                                       G       D
My life in this old house was like a king upon his throne

     G             D               A              D
Till I woke up one morning and the one I love was gone

        D                 G       D
And the King he's not the King anymore

                                      G
He's got an empty house to rule which proves that he's a fool

   E                               A
He drove her and his crown right out of the door

        D
And the one he loves won't be back

                               G               D
She'll never put her foot back thru the castle door

        D                 A       D      G
And the King he's not the King anymore

        D                 A      G        D
And the King he's not the King anymore...
