                               King of Pain

                                                                The Police

C#m B2 (x2)
              C#m          B2          C#m   B2    C#m B2   C#m B2
    There's a little black spot on the sun today
             A2       B2       A2    B2   D#sus4 D#m Amaj7
    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

                  E            E/F#            E/G#    A2
           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'll end this reign
           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)
    There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
      (that's my soul up there)
    There's a blue whale beached by a springtime's ebb
      (that's my soul up there)
    There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
      (that's my soul up there)

           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'll end this reign
           But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
                                                      B4

                             B2        E/G#            A2        B2
                   There's a 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
                             B2       E/G#         A2       C#m   B2
                   There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread
                               *Interlude*   (1/2 verse)

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

           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'll end this reign
           But it's my destiny to be the King (Queen) of pain

            E E/F# E/G# A2               E
                         King (Queen) of pain
                      E/F#    E/G#   A2                 E
                         I'll always be King (Queen) of pain
                         I'll always be King (Queen) of pain
                         I'll always be King (queen) of pain...
                                                              E/F# E/G# A2
