King of Hearts Lyrics

CAPO UP 2nd Fret
When you see G/F means to "walk down"
From G to Em using only the Low E string
for a Bass Run like G->F->E
Since I use the app on a phone,
I've tried to make the size
of the lines "Mobile Friendly"
so you can use a reasonable sized font
Technically it's in the key of A,
But since it's capo'd I'm writing it
by chord shape as though the key were G.
This allows for all easy open chord shapes.
3/4 Waltz time
From "Happy Woman Blues"

Verse/Chorus 1:
Can you relieve me, baby
Take your heart from your sleeve
And put it on the line
Put it right here beside mine
I can't seem to read you
most of the time
Don't you know that I need you
Will you ever be mine
Love is a gamble
I knew it from the start
Who ever's holding the cards
please deal me the King of Hearts
Please deal me the King of Hearts
SOLO (Optional) Em C D Am C G C G
Verse/Chorus 2:
If you came to my door
And you asked me for more
I'd lay down beside you
I'd never deny you
And if I had lots of silver
I'd give some to you
And if I had lots of gold
I'd make a rich man of you
Every time I see you
I want to fall in love again
I would like to free you
but you won't even let me in
You won't even let me in
Verse/Chorus 1:
Can you relieve me, baby
Take your heart from your sleeve
And put it on the line
Put it right here beside mine
I can't seem to read you
most of the time
Don't you know that I need you
Will you ever be mine
Love is a gamble
I knew it from the start
Whoever's holding the cards
please deal me the King of Hearts
Please deal me the King of Hearts
