Capo 2nd fret
 
 
[Intro]
C  G/B  Am7  G
 
 
[Verse 1]
C               G/B     Am7             G            C
When I think of Heaven, deliver me in a black-winged bird
G/B        Am7    G            C               G/B
I think of flying down in your sea of pens and feathers
Am7           G              C                 G/B
And all other instruments of faith and sex and God
                  Am7          G
In the belly of a black-winged bird
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7           F
Don't try to feed me
Am7              F
'Cause I've been here before
C               D
And I deserve a little more
 
 
[Chorus]
G     Am     C      D              G
And I belong in the service of the queen
      Am     C      D              G
And I belong anywhere but in between
           Am     C             D
She's been crying and I've been thinking
    G Am     C        D
And I am the rain king
 
 
[Verse 2]
             C           G/B           Am7   G
And I said, "Mama, mama, mama, why am I so alone"
       C          G/B                   Am7               G
'Cause I can't go outside, I'm scared I might not make it home
         C          G/B   Am7              G
Well I'm alive, I'm alive, but I'm sinking in
           C                 G/B
If there's anyone at home at your place, darling
    Am7                 G
Why don't you invite me in?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7           F
Don't try to bleed me
Am7              F
'Cause I've been here before
C               D
And I deserve a little more
 
 
[Chorus]
G     Am     C      D              G
And I belong in the service of the queen
      Am     C      D              G
And I belong anywhere but in between
           Am7  C              D
She's been lying and I've been sinking
    G Am     C         D
And I am the rain king
 
 
[Bridge]
Am7         C                G
Hey, I only want the same as anyone
Am7          C    G  Am7
Henderson is waiting for the sun
Am7          C    G
Oh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends
Am7           C         G
After all the dreaming, I come home again
 
 
[Instrumental]
C   G/B   Am7  G
C   G/B   Am7  G
 
 
[Verse 3]
C               G/B    Am7              G           C
When I think of Heaven, deliver me in a black-winged bird
G/B        Am7   G                 C                  G/B
I think of dying, lay me down in a field of flame and heather
Am7          G             C                G/B
Render up my body into the burning heart of God
                  Am7          G
In the belly of a black-winged bird
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7          F
Don't try to bleed me
Am7              F
'Cause I've been here before
    C           D
And I deserve a little more
 
 
[Chorus]
G        Am   C      D              G
 And I belong in the service of the queen
        Am   C  D             G
And I belong anywhere but in between
           Am7  C              D
She's been dying and I've been drinking
    G Am7    C        D
And I am the rain king
 
 
[Outro]
                  G Am7    C        D
Well I said that "I am the rain king"
                  G Am7    C        D
Well I said that "I am the rain king"
              G                Am7
Well I said, "I, I, I, I, I, I am...
     G Am7    C        D
well I am the rain king", yeah
