Lyrics

There's a (Bm)little black (A)spot on the sun (Bm)today

(A)It's the (G)same old thing (A)as (G)yesterday

(Gmaj7)There's a (Bm)black hat caught (A)in the high (Bm)tree (A)top

(A)There's a (G)flagpole rag (A)and the wind (G)won't stop

(Gmaj7)I have (A)stood here before (G6)inside the (D)pouring (G)rain with the (A)world turning (G6)circles running (D)'round my (G)brain.

I guess (A)I'm always (G6)hopin' that you'll (D)end this (G)reign but it's (A)my destiny (G6)to be the (D)king of (G)pain.

There's a (Bm)little black spot on the sun today

that's my soul up there

It's the (A)same old thing fro as in yes watterday

(F#m)that's my soul up there

(G)There's a (Bm)black hat caught in a high tree top that's my soul up there

There's a (A)flagpole rag trapped and the wind won't stop

(F#m)that's my soul up there

(G)I have (D)stood here before inside the pouring (G)rain with the (D)world turning circles running 'round my (G)brain.

I guess (D)I'm always hoping that you'll end this (G)reign but it's (D)my destiny to be the king of (G)pain.

There's a (Bm)fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall

that's my soul up there

There's a (A)dead salmon frozen in a waterfall

(F#m)that's my soul up there

(G)There's a (Bm)blue whale beached by a springtide's ebb that's my soul up there

There's a (A)butterfly trapped in a spider's web

(F#m)that's my soul up there

(G)I have (D)stood here before inside the pouring (G)rain with the (D)world turning circles running 'round my (G)brain.

I guess (D)I'm always hoping that you'll end this (G)reign but it's (D)my destiny to be the king of (G)pain.

There's a king of pain.

(A)There's a king on a throne with his eyes (G)torn out

(A)There's a blind man looking for a (G)shadow of doubt;

(A)There's a rich man sleeping on a (G)golden bed

(A)There's a skeleton choking on a (D)crust of (Bm)bread.

(Bm)There's a red fox torn by a huntsmen's pack

that's my soul up there

There's a (A)blackwinged gull with a broken back (F#m)that's my soul up there

(G)There's a (F#m7)little black (Fmaj7)spot on the sun (E7)(Eb)today

It's the (F#m7)same old thing (Fmaj7)as (Eb7)yesterday

(D9)I have (D)stood here before inside the pouring (G)rain with the (D)world turning circles running 'round my (G)brain.

I guess (D)I'm always hoping that you'll end this (G)reign but it's (D)my destiny to be the king of (G)pain.

(G)King of pain.

(G)King of pain.
