[Intro]
Am G Am
Am G
There's this band, called the Crimson Kings
Am
Come from a-Carolina, Tennessee
G
Make a stand, across wild strings
Am
Old dreadnaughts and drop-down D's
G
Our roots run deep, through the tough
Am
As true to life in some ways as mandolin
G
We don't flinch, oh, we don't bluff
Am
For our hearts have been kissed by every wind
[Chorus]
Em Am
There are some who can arise above blind fate
Em Am
Others just can't seem to pray
Em D
Then there are those that are condemned by the gods to write
F G Am
They sparkle and fade away
[Dobro Solo]
[Verse 2]
G
Now, we'll run, we're the reckless kind,
Am
But we have not turned our backs on the saviour choir,
G
See each life, all center twined,
Am
'Cause we've come together for the wheels on fire.
G
Now some don't know, that they are blessed,
Am
Perhaps this is what gives us our means,
G
Well I might be wrong, oh, never the less,
Am
Sweet mother of pearl say a prayer for a Crimson Kings
[Chorus]
Em Am
There are some who can arise above blind fate
Em Am
Others just can't seem to pray
Em D
Then there are those that are condemned by the gods to write
F G Am
They sparkle and fade away
