There's a little black spot on the sun    to-day 
         G         A           G         A   C# Gmaj7  C#  Gmaj7
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# Gmaj7 C# Gmaj7
There's a flagpole rag and the wind  won't stop

       A             G/B            D/F#     G
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
         A                G/B            D/F#      G
with the world turning cir-cles running 'round my brain.
        A             G/B              D/F#       G
I guess I'm always hop-ing that you'll end  this reign
         A        G/B          D/F#     G
but it's my  destiny to be the king of pain.

There's a king on a throne with his eyes   torn out
A                                 G
There's a blindman looking for a shadow of doubt;
A                                 G
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
A                               G/B       Bm
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread.

that's my soul up there
         G         A           G         A
