Standard tuning, no capo (but see notes at end)
“Zion” – Kings Kaleidoscope
[Verse 1]
Am C Fmaj7 E
Maybe someday we’ll meet under the stars, under the stars
Am C Fmaj7 E
Healed and home free, complete, that’s where we’ll start, that’s where we’ll start
[Chorus 1]
C#m A E Amaj7 C#m A E Amaj7
Zion, I’m coming soon to where you are
C#m A E Amaj7 C#m A E Amaj7
Till then my love’s with you, though worlds apart
[Verse 2]
C#m E Amaj7 G#
This will take much longer than I’ve planned, than I’ve planned
C#m E Amaj7 G#
But I will wait to see you, and hold your hands, hold your hands
[Chorus 2]

Waiting each day God will comfort my soul, comfort my soul

You are home now, healthy, safe in his fold, safe in his fold

The artist plays with his guitar tuned down a half step with a capo on the 1st fret to start with,
to be playing in C. After he plays the first verse and chorus, he moves the capo up to the 5th fret
but repeats the first verse and chorus chord forms. With Capo 5 they are now in E. The last verse
and chorus he moves the capo up to the 9th fret and plays the first verse and chorus chords again, but in
capo 9 they are in G#. This works great if your guitar has a cutout, because playing the C#m at the beginning
of the chorus in capo 9 isn’t a problem. If your guitar (like mine) doesn’t have a cutout, you can’t really
do that. So these are the chords in open, standard tuning with no capo changes.
If you want to use the capo method like the original artist, tune down half a step and set it at capo 1
for the first verse and chorus set, then move it up to 5 and then 9 after each chorus. Keep playing all chords
in the pattern of the first verse and chorus each time.
Feel free to contact me with questions.
This is a musically interesting and incredibly beautiful song written about the artist's stillborn son.
