Lyrics

In my (G6)eyes, in dis (Bb6)posed, in dis (F5)guise as no one knows, hides the face, for lies the snake, and some and the (G6)sun in my dis grace.

Boil ing (Bb6)heat, sum walk mer stretch.

’Neath the (F5)black, the sky looks dead.

Call my name through the (Dsus)cream, and I’ll (Ab)hear you scream an y more.

Black hole (Ebsus)sun, won’t you come

and (G)wash a way the rain?

Black hole (Eb)sun, won’t you come?

Won’t you come?

Won’t you come?

Stut ter (G6)ing, cold and (Bb6)damp.

Steal the (F5)warm wind, ti red friend.

Times are gone for hon est men, and some times the (G6)far too long for snakes.

In my (Bb6)shoes, a walk ing sleep, and my (F5)youth I pray to keep.

Heav en send hell a (Dsus)way.

No one (Ab)sings like you an y more.

Black hole (Ebsus)sun, won’t you come

and (G)wash a way the rain?

Black hole (Eb)sun, won’t you come?

Won’t you come?

Won’t you come?

Stut ter

(Bb)Black hole (Ebsus)sun, won’t you come

and (G)wash a way the rain?

Black hole (Eb)sun, won’t you come?

Won’t you come?

Won’t you come?

Won’t you come?

Won’t you come?

Hang my (G6)head, drown my (Bb6)fear, ’til you (F5)all just dis ap pear.

Black hole

Won’t you come?

Won’t you come?

Won’t you come?

Won’t you come?
