#20 in 1966. 
              (Capo 1st fret.) 

#1. 
G            C                 G        C 
Once I was a king...I thought, always a king.. 
G            Em                 A    D 
Cause I just captured someone's heart. 
G           C       G             C 
But may I explain...I treated her mean.. 
G           Em            A    D 
and then my kingdom fell apart. 

  C 
I found I couldn't sleep at night.. 
    Cm 
And when I found her gone from sight.. 
          G 
I found a lover..became a joker. 

#2. 
G              C      G               C 
The joker went wild...and he couldn't smile.. 
G         Em            A    D 
beause he had lost everything. 
G              C      G               C 
The joker went wild...and he couldn't smile. 
G          Em            A   D 
He felt no longer like a king. 

#3. 
G               C      G               C 
Some friendly advice...treat her heart nice..  
G            Em            A           D 
or she won't stay for very long, if at all. 
G                     C         G             C 
If you think you're a king..and you know everything.. 
G                 Em              A              D 
just remember the joker or you'll fall, from her arms. 

       C 
You'll find you cannot sleep at night.. 
    Cm 
And when you find she's gone from sight.. 
              G 
You'll find a lover..becomes a joker.

G              C      G               C 
The joker went wild...and he couldn't smile. 
G          Em            A   D 
He felt no longer like a king.
