[Verse]
D
I was sleeping in a castle
D
Like a king
D
While you were thirsty
D
Dying for a drink
  G                       A
I rolled the dice with no care
           D
And suddenly
                  Bm7
You´re no longer there
Em
Gone is the Pearl
                A
Oh I were the swine

[Chorus]
D            G           D
You´re never far from my heart
D            G           A
You´re never far from my heart
G            A
I admit that you´re not
       D          Bm7
always on my busy mind
    Em           A
But you´re never far
       G      D
from my heart

D
I remember seeing you
D
Roaming in the mud
D
For 50 bucks
D                   A
I took you home for fun
  G                  A
I gave you plenty of space
            D
And fell in love with
                 Bm7
your crumbled up face
    Em
But you were the pearl
              A
and I was the swine

You´re never far from my heart

How to play Pearl: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Pearl by Michael Patrick Kelly on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Pearl by Michael Patrick Kelly is written in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯) and moves through 5 chords: D, G, A, Bm7 and Em.

Listen for G – A – D – Bm7 (IV – V – I – vi7 in D major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – soh – doh – lah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes G, C, D, Em7, Am (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 80% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
