Title: 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!

KING OF PAIN
Verse 1
There's a little black spot on the sun to-day
It's the same old thing as yes - ter - day
There's a black hat caught in the high tree top
There's a flagpole rag and the wind won't stop
Chorus
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
with the world turning cir-cles running 'round my brain.
I guess I'm always hop-ing that you'll end this reign
but it's my destiny to be the king of pain.
Verse 2
There's a little black spot on the sun today
that's my soul up there
It's the same old thing as yesterday
that's my soul up there
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
that's my soul up there
There's a flagpole rag and the wind won't stop
that's my soul up there
Chorus
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.
Bridge
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 water fall
that's my soul up there
There's a blue whale beached by a springtide's ebb
that's my soul up there
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
that's my soul up there
Chorus
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 tro be the king of pain.
There's a king of pain.
Bridge
There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blindman looking for a shadow of doubt;
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread.
guitar solo
There's a red fox torn by a huntsmen's pack
that's my soul up there
There's a black winged gull with a broken back
that's my soul up there
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yes - ter - day
Chorus
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
Outro
King of pain (fade out throwing in
"I will always be..")
