[Verse 1]
          Bm           A           Bm      A       Bm           A           Bm      A          
There's a little black spot on the sun today
          G       A         G      A       Bm-    
It's the same old thing as yesterday

          Bm          A         Bm        A        Bm          A         Bm        A
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
          G         A           G          A       Bm- 
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop


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

There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall       (That's my soul up there...)
          G            A         G        A                G            A         G        A 
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall                (That's my soul up there...)
          Bm          A            Bm          A        Bm          A       Bm        A
There's a blue whale beached by a springtide's ebb      (That's my soul up there...)
          G         A           G          A       Bm- 
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web      (That's my soul up there...)

But it's my destiny to be the king of pain


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