[B] [A] [B] [A] [Bm] [A] [B] [A]
[B] [A] [B] [A] [B] [A] [Bm] [A]
[B] There's a little [A] black spot [B] on the sun [A] today [B] [A] [B] Is [A]
[G] the same [A] old thing [G] as [A] yesterday
[F#m] [G] There's [B] a black [A] hat caught [B] in a high [A] [B] treetop [A] [B] [A]
[G] There's a [A] flagpole rag [G] and the wind [Am] won't
[F#m] stop [G]
[D] I have stood [A] here before [D] inside the [G] pouring
rain [D] With the world [E] turning circles [F#m] running round
[G] my brain [D] I guess I'm [E] always hoping [D] that you'll [G] end
this rain [D] But it's my [A] destiny to [D] be the key [G] of pain
[B] [A] There's a fossil [Bm] trapped in [A] a high cliff wall
There's a dead summer [D] frozen in a [A] waterfall
[Bm] [A] There's a blue [D] whale beached by a beaten [A] tide
sail I'm gonna find you, I swear
There's a black spot [Bm] on the sun today Is the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in a high treetop There's a flagpole rag and [D] the wind won't
stop I have stood here before inside the [G] pouring
rain [D] With the world turning circles running round
[G] my brain [D] I guess I'm always hoping that [G] you'll end
this rain [D] But it's my destiny to be [G] the key of [A] pain
There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn open
[F#m] There's a blind man looking for a shadow [A] to count
There's a rich man sleeping on a cloak of lead
There's a skeleton talking out across the [A] sky
It's [Bm] my soul [A] I pray
There's [F#m] [Em] a red box in my [B] oven's milk pack [F#m] It's my soul I [B] pray
[E] There's a [A] black window with a broken [F#m] back I throw [G] up
There's a little [C#m] black spot [D] on the sun [G] today [C] [B] It's [Em] the same old thing as [C#] yesterday
[D] I have stood here before inside the [G] pouring rain
[D] With the world turning circles running round [G] my brain
[D] I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this [G] rain
But [D] it's my destiny to be the [G] key of [D] pain
