Biography:
The Blind King is an ensemble of 8 Boston-area musicians dedicated to keeping it as chill as possible to be in a band. Boy/Girl vocals, lap steel, accordion, trumpet, guitars, a smattering of drum... it all makes for a quietish post-rock vibe with a country twang. Thought provoking, simple lyrics pause for instrumental digressions performed on lap-steel, mandolin, theremin, guitar, trumpet, and accordion by an assortment of local talent.

Em C D
Em C G D
When you wake with a start and your arms are asleep
Em C D
And she’s left in the night with her things
Em C G D
Will you think of the time we made time stand still
Em C D
And cried, and lied, no regrets
C D G-->Em*
Hope you call me up before then
D Em
Before it’s all washed out to sea
C D G-->Em*
Before you wake up to a note on the door
C D Em
Hope you call me up before then
C D Em
Hope you call me up before then
Em x2 (two more bars of Em on its own)
Hmmm, hmmm (verse)
Em C D G
Em C D
Em C D G
Em C D
Em C G D
Now you finger your sleeve as the evening drones on
Em C D
And notice a fly in your drink
Em C G D
You think of the time, forget what she said
Em C D
And cry, and lie, and regret
C D G-->Em*
Hope you call me up before then
D Em
Before it’s all washed out to sea
C D G----------------->Em*
Before you wake up and your dreams are all gone
C D Em
Hope you call me up before then
Hope you call me up before then
Hope you call me up before then
[End on Em]
