        E  E/Db  C#m  E  A  A/G#  F#m 

E           E/Db        C#m         E
She was the queen of my heart for a while
A          A/G#      F#m
Moonlight, satin and wine
E           E/Db      C#m
Holding the love of a woman
     E            A   B
Much younger than I

    E         E/Db        C#m        E
And I was the king in her life for a while
A          A/G#        F#m
Love often changes its mind
    E        E/Db             C#m
And I always thought that the king
          E           A      B
Takes the queen every time
                E      B
But jokers were wild

                E      B
When jokers are wild
              C#m      E
Kings can get lonely
                  A
The queen's gonna hide
F#m              E
That look in her eyes
             A     A/G#
You'll never see
F#m           C#m     A
A heart goin' crazy
    E                         B
But you'll lose a queen every time
                E      E/Db  C#m  E  A  A/G#  F#m
When jokers are wild

  E           E/Db       C#m           E
A promise can die in the cold light of day
A            A/G#        F#m
Wishes don't always come true
    E          E/Db      C#m
But how can it be that a king
       E          A       B
Lost a queen to a fool?
            E      B
Jokers were wild

                E      B
When jokers are wild
              C#m      E
Kings can get lonely
                  A
The queen's gonna hide
F#m              E
That look in her eyes
             A     A/G#
You'll never see
F#m           C#m     A
A heart goin' crazy
    E                         B
But you'll lose a queen every time
                E      B
When jokers are wild

                E      B
When jokers are wild
              C#m      E
Kings can get lonely
                  A
The queen's gonna hide
F#m              E
That look in her eyes

A heart goin' crazy
