B5           A5               B5    A5     B5 A5  B5 A5
There's a little black spot on the sun    to-day 
         G5         A5           G5         A5   C#5  C#5  G5
It's the same old thing as yes - ter - day
          B5         A5                 B5      A5   B5 A5  B5 A5
There's a black hat caught in the high   tree top
          G5         A5               G5      A5   C#5 C#5 G5
There's a flagpole rag and the wind  won't stop
       A5           G5             D5     G5
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
         A5              G5             D5      G5
with the world turning cir-cles running 'round my brain.
        A5           G5               D5       G5
I guess I'm always hop-ing that you'll end  this reign
         A5      G5           D5     G5
but it's my  destiny to be the king of pain.
           B5 
There's a  little black spot on the sun today           
           
that's my soul up there
         A5
It's the same old thing as yesterday
F#5                       G5
that's my soul up there
          B5
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top

that's my soul up there
          A5 
There's a flagpole rag and the wind won't stop
F#5                       G5
that's my soul up there
       D5                                    G5
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
         D5                                        G5
with the world turning circles running 'round my brain.
        D5                                         G5
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
         D5                             G5
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain.
           B5
There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall

that's my soul up there
           A5 
There's a dead salmon frozen in a water fall
F#5                        G5
that's my soul up there
          B5
There's a blue whale beached by a springtide's ebb

that's my soul up there
          A5
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
F#5                       G5
that's my soul up there
        D5                                    G5
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
           D5                                      G5
with the world turning circles running 'round my brain
         D5                                       G5
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
         D5                              G5
but it's my destiny tro be the king of pain.
                   G5
There's a king of pain.
A5                                        G5
There's a king on a throne with his eyes   torn out
A5                                 G5
There's a blindman looking for a shadow of doubt;
A5                                 G5
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
A5                               D5       B5
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread.

There's a red fox torn by a huntsmen's pack

that's my soul up there
          A5
There's a black winged gull with a broken back
F#5                    G5
that's my soul up there
           F#5        F5           E5  Eb5
There's a little black spot  on the sun  today
         F#5      F5      Eb5      D5    D5
