King of Pain The Police
This is my first attempt at submitting anything to OLGA. Hope
this makes the cut. This is only a bunch of chords and lyrics,
sorry, no tabs. The solo is pretty easy, but no guitar with
me right now. Just play around with the bottom E and B strings
and you'll figure it out!

KING OF PAIN
There's a [Bm]little black [A]spot on the sun [Bm] to-[A]day [Bm] [A] [Bm] [A]
It's the [G]same old t[A]hing as yes [G]- ter - da[A]y[C#sus] [C#m] [Gmaj7]
There's a [Bm]black hat c[A]aught in the high [Bm] tree t[A]op[Bm] [A] [Bm] [A]
There's a [G]flagpole r[A]ag and the wind [G] won't [A]stop[C#sus] [C#m] [Gmaj7]
I have [A/D]stood here bef[G6]ore inside the [D/F#]pouring r[G]ain
with the [A/D]world turning cir[G6]-cles running '[D/F#]round my b[G]rain.
I guess [A/D]I'm always hop[G6]-ing that you'll [D/F#]end this r[G]eign
but it's [A/D]my desti[G6]ny to be the [D/F#]king of p[G]ain.
There's a [Bm]little black spot on the sun today
that's my soul up there
It's the [A/G]same old thing as yesterday
[F#m]that's my soul up there[G]
There's a [Bm]black hat caught in a high tree top
that's my soul up there
There's a [A/G]flagpole rag and the wind won't stop
[F#m]that's my soul up there[G]
I have [D]stood here before inside the pouring [G]rain
with the [D]world turning circles running 'round my b[G]rain.
I guess [D]I'm always hoping that you'll end this rei[G]gn
But it's [D]my destiny to be the king of p[G]ain.
There's a f[Bm]ossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
that's my soul up there
There's a d[A]ead salmon frozen in a water fall
[F#m]that's my soul up there[G]
There's a [Bm]blue whale beached by a springtide's ebb
that's my soul up there
There's a [A/G]butterfly trapped in a spider's web
[F#m]that's my soul up there[G]
I have s[D]tood here before inside the pouring r[G]ain
with the wo[D]rld turning circles running 'round my b[G]rain
I guess I[D]'m always hoping that you'll end this re[G]ign
but it's [D]my destiny tro be the king of p[G]ain.
There's a king of p[G]ain.
[A]There's a king on a throne with his eyes [G] torn out
[A]There's a blindman looking for a s[G]hadow of doubt;
[A]There's a rich man sleeping on a g[G]olden bed
[A]There's a skeleton choking on a [D/G]crust of b[Bm]read.
guitar solo
There's a red [Bm]fox torn by a huntsmen's pack
that's my soul up there
There's a [A/G]black winged gull with a broken back
[F#m]that's my soul up there[G]
There's a l[F#m7]ittle black [Fmaj7]spot on the sun[E7] to[Eb]day
It's the [F#m7]same old t[Fmaj7]hing as ye[Eb7]s - ter -[D9] day[D9/F#]
I have s[D]tood here before inside the pouring r[G]ain
with the w[D]orld turning circles running 'round my b[G]rain
I guess [D]I'm always hoping that you'll end this re[G]ign
but it's [D]my destiny to be the king of p[G]ain[D]
[G] King of pain [D] (fade out throwing in
"I will always be..")
