[Intro]
A  C  G  F#m  F  E
[Verse 1]
      A           C
In my eyes, indisposed,
       G             F#m
In disguises no one knows.
           F               E
Hides the face, lies the snake,
     A             G   A#
The sun in my disgrace.
         A             C
Boiling heat, summer stench,
            G                  F#m
Neath the black the sky looks dead.
         F                 E
Call my name through the cream,
          A                G   A#
And I'll hear you scream again.
[Chorus]
            F
Black hole sun,
           E
Won't you come,
     A     G       A#
And wash away the rain.
            F
Black hole sun,
           E               D               E
Won't you come, won't you come, won't you come.
[Verse 2]
       A              C
Stuttering, cold and damp,
           G                F#m
Steal the warm wind tired friend.
           F               E
Times are gone for honest men,
               A                 G   A#
And sometimes far too long for snakes.
        A                C
In my shoes, a walking sleep,
        G               F#m
And my youth I pray to keep.
        F          E
Heaven sent hell away,
        A                 G   A#
No one sings like you anymore.
[Chorus] 3x
            F
Black hole sun,
           E
Won't you come,
     A     G       C
And wash away the rain.
            F
Black hole sun,
           E               D    E
Won't you come, won't you come.
[Bridge]
A  C  G  F#m  F  E  A  G  E
         A              C
Hang my head, drown my fear,
         G              F#
Till you all just disappear.
[Chorus]
            F
Black hole sun,
           E
Won't you come,
     A     G       C
And wash away the rain.
            F
Black hole sun,
           E               D    E
Won't you come, won't you come.
