Bm Bm A A Bm Bm A A Bm Bm A A Bm Bm A A
There's a little black spot on the sun to-day
G G A A G G A A D6 D6 C#m C#m Gmaj7 Gmaj7
It's the same old thing as yes - ter - day
Bm Bm A A Bm Bm A A Bm Bm A A Bm Bm A A
There's a black hat caught in the high tree top
G G A A G G A A D6 D6 C#m C#m Gmaj7 Gmaj7
There's a flagpole rag and the wind won't stop
A A D D G6 G6 D D F# F# G G
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
A A D D G6 G6 D D F# F# G G
with the world turning cir-cles running 'round my brain.
A A D D G6 G6 D D F# F# G G
I guess I'm always hop-ing that you'll end this reign
A A D D G6 G6 D D F# F# G G
but it's my destiny to be the king of pain.

There's a dead salmon frozen in a water fall
F#m F#m G G
that's my soul up there
Bm Bm
There's a blue whale beached by a springtide's ebb
that's my soul up there
A A G G
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web

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