There's a little black spot on the sun    to-day 
         G         A           G         A   C#sus  C#m  G7M
It's the same old thing as yes - ter - day
          Bm         A                 Bm      A   Bm A  Bm A
There's a black hat caught in the high   tree top
          G         A               G      A   C#sus C#m G7M
There's a flagpole rag and the wind  won't stop
       A/D           G6             D/F#     G
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
         A/D              G6             D/F#      G
with the world turning cir-cles running 'round my brain.
        A/D           G6               D/F#       G
I guess I'm always hop-ing that you'll end  this reign
         A/D      G6           D/F#     G
but it's my  destiny to be the king of pain.
           Bm 
There's a  little black spot on the sun today

There's a king of pain.
A                                        G
There's a king on a throne with his eyes   torn out

There's a blindman looking for a shadow of doubt;
A                                 G
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
A                               D/G       Bm
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread.
