[Verse]
      Em        Gm
In my eyes, indisposed
      Fm              Em
in disguise as no one knows
          Eb             D
hides the face, lies the snake
    G*           Fm
the sun in my disgrace
        Em             Gm
Boiling heat, summer stench
            Fm                  Em
beneath the black the sky looks dead
        Eb               D
call my name through the cream
         G*                Fm
and I'll hear you, scream again
 
[Chorus]
           Eb             D
Black hole sun, won't you come
    G     G7      Bb
and wash away the rain
           Eb             D
Black hole sun, won't you come
          Cm
won't you come
          D
won't you come
 
[Verse]
    Em               Gm
Stuttering, cold and damp
          Fm              Em
steal the warm wind tired friend
          Eb              D
times are gone for honest men
       G*                      Fm
and sometimes far too long to snakes
      Em              Gm
In my shoes a walking sleep
       Fm              Em
and my youth I pray to keep
       Eb        D
heaven send hell away
        G*              Fm
no one sings like you anymore
 
[Chorus]
           Eb             D
Black hole sun, won't you come
    G     G7      Bb
and wash away the rain
           Eb             D
Black hole sun, won't you come
          Cm             Bb
Won't you come
           Eb             D
Black hole sun, won't you come
    G     G7      Bb
and wash away the rain
           Eb             D
Black hole sun, won't you come
          Cm               Bb              Dm
won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun) x4

i apologize because my english isn't really good this chord you named g* is actually G6add2=G 6th Add 2nd; the one you named G is G major so it's fine; the one you named G7 is G7, so it's fine too, the one you named Bb is F6sus4; and the one you named Cm is actually Cm/G. i hope this information would be useful for you

Innacurate

Not too bad. The CM>D at the end of the chorus doesn't sound right. I believe it might be something like Cm>Em or Gm.
