1. From a jack to a king, from loneliness to a wedding ring,

                                        E7

    I played an ace and I won a queen,

                                                    A

     and walked away with your heart.

2. From a jack to a king, with no regret I stacked the cards last night,

                                             E7

    and lady luck played her hand just right,

                                              A      - D - A

    to make me king of your heart.

 

           A7     D                                                A

    For just a little while I thought that I might lose the game,

                       B7                                            E

    then just in time I saw the twinkle in your eye.

     you made me King of your heart.
