Black Hole Sun

This is as complete as I could come up with.
Use standard tuning. No solo or verse lyrics.
Criticism appreciated.

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...

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.

First verse: In my eyes, indisposed
in disguise as no one knows
hides the face, lies the snake
the sun in my disgrace
boiling heat, summer stench
'neath the black the sky looks dead
call my name through the cream
and I'll hear you, scream again

Second verse as the first:
stuttering, cold and damp
steal the warm wind tired friend
times are gone for honest men
and sometimes far too long for snakes
in my shoes a walking sleep
and my youth I pray to keep
heaven send hell away
no one sings like you anymore
