King Charles is a singer-songwriter whose sound has been described as everything from psychedelic rock to folk-pop. Born and raised in London, Charles fell in love with country music, took up the guitar, and was writing his own music by the age of 17.  Following a year at Durham University, Charles returned to London in 2007 without a degree but with the new moniker 'King Charles'. He formed a band, Adventure Playground, who along with other like-minded souls, made West London's Bosun

G
You're the nose on my bullet
The trigger on my gun
           B
You're the sandbank in the ocean
Oxygen in my blood
           C
You're the fastest of the fish
You're the prickliest pear
         G
You're a chameleon in the night
You're the sahara's sun glare

G
You're my mind's rest
You're the strings on my guitar
           Am
You're the wax in my moustache
The keys to my car
           D
You're the magical mermaid's hollowed illusion
You cool them, fool them
And they hope so much
        G
And you let them down
And you watch from your rock
And your heart beats fast as you watch their's stop

G
I will keep on loving
'Cos I believe in love
  Am
I don't mind dying
If you follow me up
     G
Your victory's your defeat
Your head above your heart
Am                  
Only the brave surrender
D
Death cannot tear us apart

Interlude: G  Am  D  G

G
Well my smile is wider
Than your's when we meet
        B
And the winter is colder
For me underneath
      C
And I know that you glow
From the inside out
        G
You can keep it for yourself
And I'll go without

G
You are the fire and I'm the chimney
You'll burn away and I'll choke on your memory
        Am
All the words, my sense, you're the poet to my pen
You're the dream that brings the morning sadness
D                         G
Start the day storm in my head
G
Well you're the Oscar Wilde short stories in my bookcase
       Am
You're positively 4th street isolated in my itunes
           D
You're the word in the dictionary that I can't spell
                               G
Can't describe, can't put in a sentence but use all the time
G
Your own pair of trousers look better on me
    Am
The boots of spanish leather
And the bottom of the sea
      D
Every symbol of love that doesn't relate to a meaning
      G
Every feeling, every sensation
Only real when I'm dreaming

G
I will keep on loving
'Cos I believe in love
  Am
I don't mind dying
If you follow me up
G
Your victory's your defeat
Your head above your heart
Am
Only the brave surrender
D                             G
Death cannot tear us apart

G
Well I wish we were animals free of loves games
  Am
I wish we were snails with really big shells
  D
I wish I was a lion, I'd be king of the wild
    G
I'd command all the beasts to carry you when you're tired

G
I'm the elephant in the circus
Oh, you're my trainer
      Am
You'd never let me go
But if you did I would stay here
   D
In love there is freedom
But it must be returned
      G
There must be sacrifice
Love must be learnt
  G
A donkey, a mule, a lifetime of work
   Am
In death he rests his head from his reins
No burden to bare but work left him lame
        D
And the lion on the mountain chased from his pride
His lioness stolen, his rival survives
    G (let ring...)
The sound of his cubs in death are dim
He knows his world well, no pain can defeat him

G                  Am
Wild horses in the wilderness
     D               G
Will know no journey home
                          Am
Well my love is locked in chains
    D          G
The lion walks alone
            Am
Oh the lion walks alone
D
Nature is cruel
       G
But he knows it's his home
G
He to his demons
    Am
And you to your own
D
Please let me stand by you
          G
And we'll conquer them all
G       Am
We will conquer them all
   D      G
Oh I will conquer them all (x3)

Her name's Mississippi Isabel

She grows wild strawberries

She's made of ivory and pearl 


   D           G
To look at the universe

For what's hiding by the morning

Oh, the Dawn light sweeps all the shadows clean

Of what has gathered in the night,

High on butchers hooks

To see what the darkness has done.


      C                           F          C 
The depraved are tamed, caught in pleasure's chains;

Willingly surrendering,

The song the angels sing.

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me

Am  C  Am       C              F           C
       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

It Ain't Me

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
