For some reason there seems to be alot of confusion on the first chord of this song.  
The First chord is an F#sus2 chord
The reason it sounds ominous is because of the low register of the voicings
The Entire Progression is
F#sus2 C#     B    repeated over and over
IF you're playing this on piano you have to invert the chord so that it follows the top 
melody line which utilizes the notes G# (for the F#sus2) F (For the C#) and D# (for the 
B chord.)
So fill the chord normally,  just make sure those notes are on top and you should be fine.
For any of you familiar with theory
The F#sus2 and C# chords are in first inversion while the final B chord is in 2nd 
inversion.  Take note that the inversion only happen in the left hand, the right hand plays 
the usual bass(root) notes.
IF you're plannning on playing this on guitar I suggest you down tune a halfstep so you 
can get that open chord feeling, thats in the song.

God, please bring the rain

Yeah, and bring it soon

Let it flood right through the houses

Into Judy's room
Gsus2       D         C
With a father on amphetamines

Her mother hides the pearls
Gsus2       D         C
Reach out into the darkness
Gsus2       D         C
And find my little girl

'Cause she's angry like a salesman

That couldn't make a sale

Threw her wedding ring in the sewer

And damned them all to hell

Please lead her to the mountain

That you fashioned out of sand

While the roaches climb the walls

From the hotel where he calls
Gsus2       D         C
Most people never find a love
Gsus2       D         C
Most people never find a love
Gsus2       D         C
Sometimes you just can be a man
Gsus2       D         C
Sometimes you just can be a man
Gsus2       D         C
When your living in the darkness
Gsus2       D         C
Of the shadowlands
Gsus2       D         C
The shadowlands
Gsus2       D         C
The shadowlands
The cool thing about the open chords is if your playing this on solo guitar you can 
fingerpick the song easily
Best of Luck
