King And Cross

• B6

Possible chord shapes:

 Amaj7(/E)     B6       C#m7      F#m9      E/G#

Some of the specific chord shapes are probably inaccurate, but I think the basic chords 
are correct.
In the studio recording of the song the 5th, 4th and 3rd strings are generally loudest - 
the high e string is barely audible.

From the house of red, I hear a child crying.

Fortres-ses of stone, turn into crystal tears
