Verse 1. 
C                G           C 
I gave her that diamond she dreamed of 
                    G           C 
And I bought her a home with a view 
   F                          C 
I took her to the end of the rainbow 
                        G 
But all I left her was blue 
 
Verse 2. 
         C     G           C 
Seems I never had time to love her 
                            G      F 
And now it seems time just stands still 
                             C          F 
I thought I was king of the mountain 
           C      G           C 
But I was only a fool on the hill 
 
Chorus: 
     E                    F            C 
Now Iâm here alone after leavinâ her lonely 
 
Lord Iâm livinâ with a memory 
                G 
I know I canât kill 
   C                         F   C     F 
I thought I was king of the mountain 
           C      G           C 
But I was only a fool on the hill 
 
(Instrumental) 
 
(Repeat Chorus)
