A                               F#m 
It was a rainy night     the night the king went down  
E                                       F#m 
Everybody was crying    it seemed like sadness had surrounded the town  
A 
Me I went to the liquor store  
F#m 
And I bought a bottle of wine and a bottle of gin  
E 
I played his records all night  
F#m 
Drinking with a close, close friend  
C#m                                     F#m 
Now some people say that it ain't right  
A                                       F#m 
And some people say nothing at all  
C#m                             F#m 
But even in the darkest of night  
A                       D 
You can always hear the king's call  
A                       F#m 
You can always hear the king's call  
 !! There you go ! It is the same pattern all along the song 
(additional lyrics below). Have fun ! Saronis !! 
Well they put him away in Memphis  
Six feet beneath the clay  
Everybody was crying  
Everybody said it was a plain grey day  
Me I went to the liquor store  
And I bought another bottle of wine and another bottle of gin  
I played his records all night  
And I got drunk all over again  
Now some people say that it ain't right  
And some people say nothing at all  
But even in the darkest of night  
You could always hear the king's call  
You could always hear the king's call  

 This verse is sung during a long solo. 
Listen to the song to get how to sing it ! Or you can skip it !! 
I wonder if you're lonesome tonight  
And I'd rather go on hearing your lies  
Than to go on living without you  


Now some people say that it ain't right  
And some people say nothing at all  
But even in the darkest of night  
You could always hear the king's call  
You could always hear the king's call  
You could always hear the king's call
