ARTIST: The Police
TITLE: King of Pain
Lyrics and Chords


There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in a high tree-top
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop

/ Bm A Bm A Bm A Bm A / G A G A F#m - G - / : 

{Refrain}
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'd end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

/ D - - G / / / /

There's a little black spot on the sun today
   That's my soul up there
It's the same old thing as yesterday / That's...
There's a black hat caught in a high tree-top...
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop...

{Refrain}

There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall / That's...
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall...
There's a blue whale beached by a spring tide's ebb...
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web...

{Refrain}

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

/ A - - G / / / A - - - Bm A Bm A Bm A Bm A /

King of pain

/ G A G A F#m - G - / 

There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack / That's...
There's a black-winged gull with a broken back...
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday

{Refrain}

King of pain (3x)
I'll always be king of pain (3x)

/ D - - G /
