Tip: The song uses unconventional chord movement. Let each chord sustain with reverb. The Bb and Eb can be played as barre chords. Focus on the hypnotic, swaying rhythm.

Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Verse 1

 
G Bb
In my eyes, in-dis-posed
F Eb
In dis-guise as no one knows
G Bb
Hides the face, lies the snake
F Eb
The sun in my dis-grace
 

Chorus

 
G Bb F
Black hole sun, won’t you come
Eb C
And wash away the rain
G Bb F
Black hole sun, won’t you come
Eb C
Won’t you come, won’t you come
 

Verse 2

 
G Bb
Stuttering, cold and damp
F Eb
Steal the warm wind, tired friend
G Bb
Times are gone for honest men
F Eb
And sometimes far too long for snakes
