You only hear the bass in the verses but I'll show the chords with the lyrics in case of... Dm F A# Am Time it took us Dm F To where the water was A# Am Dm That's what the water gave me F A# Am And time goes quicker Dm F Between the two of us A# Am Dm Oh, my love, don't forsake me F Gm Take what the water gave me

Chorus

(You still pretty much only hear the bass but I usually play power-chords when the drums fade in) Gm Dm Lay me down F C Let the only sound Gm Dm Be the overflow F C Pockets full of stones Gm Dm Lay me down F C Let the only sound Gm Dm F Am Be the ooooverflow End

Verse 2

(The same as the 1st with the riff and all) Dm F A# Am And oh poor Atlas Dm F The world's a beast of a burden A# Am Dm You've been holding on a long time F A# Am And all this longing Dm F And the ships are left to rust A# Am Gm That's what the water gave us

Chorus

Gm Dm Lay me down F C Let the only sound Gm Dm Be the overflow F C Pockets full of stones Gm Dm Lay me down F C Let the only sound Gm Dm F Am Be the ooooverflow

Bridge

(First 2 are open chords then it's switched to power chords with PM) Gm 'Cause they took your loved ones Dm But returned them in exchange for you A# C But would you have it any other way? Gm A# Would you have it any other way? C Gm You could have had it any other way

Verse 3

(Instead of the usual guitar riff there are quiet PMd chords) Dm F A# Am 'Cause she's a crueller mistress Dm F And the bargain must be made A# Am Dm But oh, my love, don't forget me F A# Am Gm But I let the water take me

Chorus

(Still with the bass, maybe a couple of slides and notice the change at the last line!!!) Gm Dm Lay me down F C Let the only sound Gm Dm Be the overflow F C Pockets full of stones Gm Dm Lay me down F C Let the only sound Gm Dm A# C Be the ooooverflow

Chorus

(This time with a change) Gm Dm Lay me down F C Let the only sound A# Dm Be the overflow F C Pockets full of stones Gm Dm Lay me down F C Let the only sound A# Dm F F Be the ooooverflow
