[G][Bm][C][D][G][Bm][C][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]He struggled
so hard [Bm]to be [Em]king[Am]
Working night [D]and day
[G]Dreaming of only [Bm]one t[Em]hing[Am]
Never a hol[D]iday
[C]Somewhere along [G]the way
[C]He forgot she was onl[Am]y a g[D]irl
Now his [G]kingdom has [Bm]fallen
And it's [C]really quite [Am]a tragic tal[F]e
[D]Cause he [G]built a c[Bm]astle to
[Em]harbor his queen
But the [C]queen claimed [G]he built
her [D]a jail

[Verse 2]
[G]He struggled so hard [Bm]to be
[Em]king[Am]
He wanted [D]everything
[G]He built her a house [Bm]by th[Em]e sea[Am]
Just to keep [D]her in
[C]Somewhere along [G]the way
[C]He for[Am]got she nee[F]ded a friend
[D]Now his [G]kingdom has [Bm]fallen
And it's [C]really quite [Am]a tragic tal[F]e
[D]Cause he [G]built a c[Bm]astle to
[Em]harbor his queen
And the [C]queen claimed [G]he built her [D]a jail
[B]It

[Verse 3]
[E]hap[A]pened so quickly
be[D]fore he could know
[Dm]She was gone[A], far [D]gone[A]
[D]Far from the castle,
the [A]diamonds and things
She had [F#m]worn to t[G]he ball[E]
[D]There was a note that she
[A]carefully wrote
[F#m]Signed it best wishes to [G]all
[E]Oh [A]you struggled so hard
[C#m]to be [F#m]king[Bm]
Working night [E]and day
[A]Dreaming of only [C#m]one th[F#m]ing,
[Bm]never a holiday[E]
[D]Somewhere along the [A]way
[D]You forgot that I nee[G]ded a man[E]
[A]

[Verse 4]
When they found him they took
him [G]back where he belonged
[F#]And his family a[G]nd friend
[Gm]s saw hi[D]m an[E]nually
[A]And they say it's a shame what's
become [G]of the [F#]king
