KING OF HEARTS
Words & Music By Randy Stonehill
Transcribed by Brent Pacheco
This is the version from Welcome To Paradise, transcribed as closely as I could
from listening to the album. There are some variations on the album, mostly
due to the song having more than one guitar part, but this is the basic gist
of it. I've also added chords that can be adequately substituded rather than
playing exactly what it tabbed out. Let me know if you find any mistakes!
