VERSE 1
(E)              E
>From a jack to a king
                     B
>From loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an ace and I won a queen
                          E
And walked away with your heart

VERSE 2
(E)              E
>From a jack to a king
                             B
With no regret I stacked the cards last night
And lady luck played her hand just right
                         E    A    E7
To make me king of your heart

BRIDGE
           A                                   E
For just a little while I thought that I might lose the game
             F#                             B
Then just in time I saw the twinkle in your eye

VERSE 3
(E)              E
>From a jack to a king
                     B
>From loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an ace and I won a queen
                         E
You made me king of your heart
