Merle Haggard - A King Without A Queen

a king without a queen

C F
riches do not come in silver and in gold
G7 C
it comes in the happiness you find
F
i place my gold and silver before my precious queen
G7 C C7
but now there’s only memories left behind

F C
if you never lost a loved one
F G7
then you’ll know just what i mean
F C
for what good are treasures and a kingdom
G7 C
if you’re a king without a queen

F
now that she has gone and found another love
G7 C
my castle is empty and so cold
F
for her leaving brought me heartaches that i have never known
G7 C C7
and there’s sadness in the treasures i now hold
