King Without A Castle

Chris Isaak

Tuning: Standard Comments: Barring the "Wicked Game" import CD and the countless knock off compilations, King Without A Castle marks a decided return to Isaak's musical roots on his first greatest hits CD. The song is deceptively simple in it's approach. Two guitars, one clean with that classic "surfer" guitar sound that is simply pounding out root notes of the chords. And a second guitar with just a hint of distortion on the fills and accents. You could even put in a third with a ton of tremlo just to accent the chord changes. Either way it's a great song.

I call your name but there's no answer, and I'm left here on my own. {Chrous 1} Just wondering, wondering... Wondering, wondering... Wondering, where did our love go. Does anybody know? {Verse 2} A man alone he has no future, a man alone he has no friends. There was a time I thought I found her, the one that'd love me til' the end. {Chrous 2} Now I'm wondering, wondering... Wondering, wondering... Wondering, where did our love go. Does anybody know? {Guitar Solo}G {Verse 3} I'm like a king without a castle, with a heart condemended to roam. I'll keep searching til' I find you, until I do I'll be alone. {Chrous 3} Just wondering, wondering... Wondering, wondering... Wondering, where did our love go. Does anybody know? Anybody know? Does anybody know? Does anybody know? Does anybody know?
