The Old King

G           D                   C
("Whatever happens") "No battle lost"
                Am                        G
("Know you can love me") Growls the old King
             D                      C
("Whatever happens next") "No war un-won"
               Am                          G
("Know you can trust me") He spits and he sings

G           D
"I wish I'd had the balls
C            Am
To sell the army off
G           D
Pay all my enemies
C              Am
And just swallow the loss
G          D
Whatever happens
C             Am
Know you can love me"
G           D
I listened all night
C               Am
The drinks were free
G          D
But soon his bitter heart
C              Am
Got wearing on me

     G
"Go all, go one
     D
The night is young
C            Am
My throat is dry
             G   D
But I ain't done
              C   Am
No, I ain't done

G              D
"The loves of your life
C             Am
The glass and the wife
G            D
One guts you hollow
C             Am
One twists the knife"
G               D
Morning had come
C             Am
I left him inside
    G       D           C       Am
And I ran away with the paling sky
      G       D           C       Am
Yeah, I ran away with the paling sky
G                 D
"I wish I'd only had the balls
C             Am           G
To bury the hatchet and forgive em all"

  D C Am
G D C Am
G              D         C    Am
"Cause now the hours are d-ays
G        D    C       Am
And the days go like months
G         D
Whatever happens
C           Am    G
You know I love you"
