This is as complete as I could come up with. Use standard tuning. No solo

Here's the first bit of chorus from Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun. I
played it with my chorus cranked all the way to the right for short
bandwith to give it that
 70s' oscillatory effect, with lots of distortion and flange/echo.

It's from memory so be forgiving...

B ---------------------0--------------------------4-----4---------
G -------------------0---0------------------------4---4---4-------

A --0-----2-------3--------------(3s--5)----3-----2---------------
E ----------------------------------------------------------------

  Black -hole  sun,      wo- nt  you  co- ome,  ...



Heres the chorus for Black Hole Sun.

IMPORTANT: You MUST use dropped-D tuning (tune your low E string down to D)

 sun  won't you come won't you.....

After the first chorus, I believe the barre chords in subsequent choruses
are C-A#-D (instead of C-D shown above).

Anyway, the above sounds close to my ears. However, I don't have a copy
of the album, so corrections are welcome. Anyone who has figured out the
verse chords, please post. I'm trying various triads around the octave
fret but just can't seem to nail it.
