Version 1

            [Intro] (x2)

D A/C# Bm   A

D A/C# Bm E A


[Verse]

D                      A/C#
When I think of heaven
Bm         A                 D
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
A/C#         Bm  E   A           D               A/C#
I think of flying down into a sea of pens and feathers
Bm            A              D                 A/C#
And all other instruments of faith and sex and God
                  Bm     E      A
In the belly of a black-winged bird.
Bm    G
Don't try to feed me
Bm        G
I've been here before
    D           E
And I deserve a little more


[Chorus]

A Bm    D       E              A
I belong in the service of the Queen
A Bm    D   E               A
I belong anywhere but in between
A          Bm     D               E
She's been crying and I've been thinking
A     Bm     D         E
And I am the Rain King


[Verse]

         D           A/C#            Bm   A
And I said mama, mama, mama, why am I so alone?
D          A/C#
I can't go outside
             Bm       E       A
I'm scared I might not make it home
    D           A/C#
I'm alive, I'm alive
     Bm           A
But I'm sinking in
           D                 A/C#
If there's anyone at home at your place, darling
Bm       E               A
Why don't you invite me in?
Bm    G
Don't try to bleed me
Bm        G
I've been there before
    D           E
And I deserve a little more


[Chorus]

A Bm    D       E              A
I belong in the service of the Queen
A Bm    D    E              A
I belong anywhere but in between
A          Bm    D              E
She's been lying and I've been sinking
A     Bm     D         E
And I am the Rain King


[Bridge]

Bm          D                A
Hey, I only want the same as anyone
Bm           D   A   Bm
Henderson is waiting for the sun
                             D         A
Oh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends
Bm            D               A
After all the dreaming I come home again


[Solo]

D   A/C#   Bm     A

D   A/C#   Bm  E  A


[Verse]

D               A/C#
When I think of heaven
Bm         A                 D
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
A/C#          Bm   E
I think of dying
A                D                  A/C#
Lay me down in a field of flame and heather
Bm           A             D                A/C#
Render up my body into the burning heart of God
                Bm      E       A
In the belly of a black-winged bird
Bm    G
Don't try to bleed me
Bm        G
I've been here before
    D           E
And I deserve a little more


[Chorus]

A Bm    D       E              A
I belong in the service of the queen
A Bm    D    E              A
I belong anywhere but in between
A          Bm    D             E
She's been dying and I've been drinking
A     Bm     D          E
And I am the Rain King
A     Bm     D          E
And I am the Rain King
        A          Bm
I said good night Elisabeth
             E
I'm so sorry now
A        Bm       D
but I am the rain king
D                C#     Bm      A
So why don't you come in out of the rain
