Chesnutt is the second son of Bobby Thomas Chesnutt and Norma Jean Nicholas. He learned to love music from his father, who was a singer and record collector. Chesnutt dropped out of school after his sophomore year of high school to begin playing with his father in clubs around Southeast Texas. When he turned 17, his father began to take him to Nashville, Tennessee to begin recording. For the next ten years, Chesnutt began to record on small regional labels while he was the house band for local Beaumont nightclub Cutters.

The King of Broken Hearts by Mark Chesnutt Written by Jim Lauderdale ------------------------------------------
This song is in Eb and I'm gonna write it down that way, but it's probably best to capo up at the 3rd fret and play as if it was in C.
Eb The king of broken hearts doesn't ask much from his friends
Bb And he has quite a few of them
GCm They know he'll understand
FBbEbEbBb That's just the way it goes.
Eb The king of broken hearts doesn't know he's a king
Bb He's trying to forget other things
GCm Like some ol' chilly scenes
FBbEbEbBb He's walking through alone.
F CHORUS: He talks to angels and the stars start to spin
Bb He thinks of troubles that he's gotten in
C He recalls how his heart got broken
F And how it's still that way.
Eb The king of broken hearts is so sad and wise
Bb He can smile while he's crying inside
GCm We know he'll be brave tonight
FBbEbEbBb 'Cause he's the king of broken hearts.
SOLO (EbBbGCmFBb)
CHORUS
Eb The king of broken hearts thinks that he's an old fool
Bb He's a little bit like me and you
GCm So what's a king like that supposed to do
FD With all that blue time
GCm We know he'll be brave tonight
FEb 'Cause he's the king of broken hearts
EbBb He's the king of broken hearts.
Ok. And here are the chords with a capo at the third fret:
Eb=C Bb=G G=E Cm=Am F=D D=B
It's also very cool, I think, to walk down from Bb to G (or from G to E if you are using the capo). Also, if you are not using the capo, I find it better to finger the chords like: Eb:x65343 Bb:688766 G:355433 Cm:x35543 F:133211 D;x5777x as I think they tend to blend a little better with the vocals.
