Intro: G# B F# Fm E D# 

Verse 1: 

      G#           B 
In my eyes, indisposed, 
       F#             Fm 
In disguises no one knows. 
           E               D# 
Hides the face, lies the snake, 
     G#             A 
The sun in my disgrace. 
         G#             B 
Boiling heat, summer stench, 
            F#                  Fm 
Neath the black the sky looks dead. 
         E                 D# 
Call my name through the cream, 
          G#                A 
And I'll hear you scream again. 
 
           E 
Black hole sun, 
           D# 
Won't you come, 
     G#     F#       B 
And wash away the rain. 
            E 
Black hole sun, 
           D#               C#               D# 
Won't you come, won't you come, won't you come. 

Verse 2: 

       G#              B 
Stuttering, cold and damp, 
           F#                Fm 
Steal the warm wind tired friend. 
           E               D# 
Times are gone for honest men, 
               G#                 A 
And sometimes far too long for snakes. 
        G#                B 
In my shoes, a walking sleep, 
        F#               Fm 
And my youth I pray to keep. 
        E          D# 
Heaven sent hell away, 
        G#                 A 
No one sings like you anymore.
