Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4Title: King of Pain Artist: The Police Songwriter: Sting 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!

[Verse 2] Bm There's a little black spot on the sun today that's my soul up there A/G It's the same old thing as yesterday F#m G that's my soul up there Bm There's a black hat caught in a high tree top that's my soul up there A/G There's a flagpole rag and the wind won't stop F#m G that's my soul up there [Chorus] D G I have stood here before inside the pouring rain D G with the world turning circles running 'round my brain. D G I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign D G But it's my destiny to be the king of pain. [Bridge] Bm There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall that's my soul up there A There's a dead salmon frozen in a water fall F#m G that's my soul up there Bm There's a blue whale beached by a springtide's ebb that's my soul up there A/G There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web F#m G that's my soul up there [Chorus] D G I have stood here before inside the pouring rain D G with the world turning circles running 'round my brain D G I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign D G but it's my destiny tro be the king of pain. G There's a king of pain. [Bridge] A G 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 D/G Bm There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread. [guitar solo] Bm There's a red fox torn by a huntsmen's pack that's my soul up there A/G There's a black winged gull with a broken back F#m G that's my soul up there F#m7 Fmaj7 E7 Eb There's a little black spot on the sun today F#m7 Fmaj7 Eb7 D9 D9/F# It's the same old thing as yes - ter - day [Chorus] D G I have stood here before inside the pouring rain D G with the world turning circles running 'round my brain D G I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign D G D but it's my destiny to be the king of pain [Outro] G D King of pain (fade out throwing in "I will always be..")
