There's a little black spot on the sun    to-day 
         G5         A5           G5         A5   C#5 G5  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 G5 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.

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                               G5       B5
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread.
