He [G#] left his home with no money.
[F#] He had to pay his dues.
[G#] But he knew that time was coming.
[A] He [B] was a big king of [C#] the [B] blues.

[E] _ [F#] He lost his heart to a woman. _ _
But Lucy [C#m] was her name.

_ When he [G#] hears her sing so [F#] sweetly,
He knows he just can't lose.
[G#] When he holds her in his arms,
He [A] knows that [B] he's the king of [C#] the blues.
_ [C#m] _ _ [C#] _
_ _ [A] _ He was a hunter with a cross cut sword.
[C#m] Born on the bad side.

[G#] He's got Lucy by his side.
[F#] He's making hell on you.
[G#] Does he need no palace [F#] like Patti's down in Dallas?
[G#] Do you call him what you [A] like?
I [B] call him king [C#] of the blues.
_ _ [C#m] _ _
