	        The King of Broken Hearts by Mark Chesnutt           Written by Jim Lauderdale  
------------------------------------------ 
 
This song is in Eb and I'm gonna write it down that way, but it's probably 
best to capo up at the 3rd fret and play as if it was in C. 
 
                                  Eb       
The king of broken hearts doesn't ask much from his friends 
 
                          Bb 
And he has quite a few of them 
 
G               Cm 
They know he'll understand 
 
F                      Bb     Eb Eb Bb 
That's just the way it goes. 
 
                                  Eb 
The king of broken hearts doesn't know he's a king 
 
                      Bb 
He's trying to forget other things 
 
G             Cm 
Like some ol' chilly scenes 
 
F                    Bb     Eb Eb Bb 
He's walking through alone. 
 
                                   F 
CHORUS: He talks to angels and the stars start to spin 
 
                                   Bb        
        He thinks of troubles that he's gotten in 
  
                           C 
        He recalls how his heart got broken 
 
                                F 
        And how it's still that way. 
 
                             Eb 
The king of broken hearts is so sad and wise 
 
                        Bb 
He can smile while he's crying inside 
 
G                Cm 
We know he'll be brave tonight 
 
F                       Bb            Eb Eb Bb 
'Cause he's the king of broken hearts. 
 
SOLO (Eb Bb G Cm F Bb) 
 
CHORUS 
 
                                      Eb 
The king of broken hearts thinks that he's an old fool 
 
                  Bb 
He's a little bit like me and you 
 
G                          Cm 
So what's a king like that supposed to do 
 
F                  D 
With all that blue time 
 
G                Cm 
We know he'll be brave tonight 
 
F                              Eb 
'Cause he's the king of broken hearts 
 
Eb                                 Bb 
He's the king of broken hearts.
