Title: King of Pain
Artist: The Police
Songwriter: Sting
My Name: Craig Quenneville (e0fvyczs@mail.erin.utoronto.ca)

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!
