    From A Jack To A King -...

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
