King Of Pain

E G


[Verse 1]
G                                        D G
There'a a little black spot on the sun today
         C                       G
It's the same old thing as yesterday
G
There's a black hat caught in a high treetop
          C                               G
There's a flagpole rag and the wind won't stop


[Chorus]
G
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
G
With the world turning circles running round my brain
        C          G              C            G
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
                 D            G            E
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain


[Verse 2]
G
There's a fossil trapped in a high cliff wall (that's my soul up there)
                                  C    G
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall (that's my soul up there)
G
There's a blue whale beached by a spring tide's ebb (that's my soul up there)
G               C                   G
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web (that's my soul up there)


[Chorus]
G
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
G
With the world turning circles running round my brain
              C
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
G                D     G                   E
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain


[Bridge]
G
There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
G
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
G
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
G         C        D            G              E
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread


[Verse 3]
G
There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack (that's my soul up there)
G
There's a black winged gull with a broken back (that's my soul up there)
G
There's a little black spot on the sun today
G                 C                 G
It's the same old thing as yesterday


[Chorus]
G
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
G                      D               G
With the world turning circles running round my brain
              C
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
G                D     G                   E
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain


[Outro]
G
I'll always be king of pain, I'll always be king of pain
G
I'll always be king of pain
