🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Won't you come
  • And wash away the rain?
  • Black hole sun
  • Won't you come

Sing it again — final chorus

  • Won't you come
  • Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun)
  • Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun)
  • Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun)
blackholewon't
