[Verse 1]
      A6        C6
In my eyes, indisposed
      G                F#m
In disguise as no one knows
           F            E5
Hides the face, lies the snake
    A       A7/G  Bb
The sun in my disgrace
        A6           C6
Boiling heat, summer stench
            G                    F#m
Beneath the black the sky looks dead
         F               E5
Call my name through the cream
         A         A7/G   Bb
and I'll hear you scream again
 
[Chorus]
           F              E
Black hole sun, won't you come
    A     G     C
Wash away the rain
           F              E
Black hole sun, won't you come
          D
Won't you come
          E
Won't you come
 
[Verse 2]
      A6             C6
Stuttering, cold and damp
          G                 F#m
Steal the warm wind tired friend
           F            E5
Times are gone for honest men
              A        A7/G     Bb
and sometimes far too long for snakes
      A6              C6
In my shoes a walking sleep
       G                F#m
and my youth I pray to keep
       F          E5
Heaven send hell away
       A           A7/G   Bb
No one sings like you anymore
 
[Chorus] (x3)
           F              E
Black hole sun, won't you come
    A     G     C
Wash away the rain
           F              E
Black hole sun, won't you come
          D       C
Won't you come

[Bridge]
          A6           C6
Hang my head, drown my fear
         G              F#
Till you all just disappear
 
[Chorus]
           F              E
Black hole sun, won't you come
    A     G     C
Wash away the rain
           F              E
Black hole sun, won't you come
          D       C
Won't you come

I like this version a lot. It's not a perfect match to the original but with a couple of tweaks it works pretty well when singing with solo acoustic. Thanks for the contribution!
