You only hear the bass in the verses but
I'll show the chords with the lyrics in case of...
Bm
D G F#m
Time it took us
Bm D
To where the water was
G F#m Bm
That's what the water gave me
D G F#m
And time goes quicker
Bm D
Between the two of us
G F#m Bm
Oh, my love, don't forsake me
D Em
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)
Em Bm
Lay me down
D A
Let the only sound
Em Bm
Be the overflow
D A
Pockets full of stones
Em Bm
Lay me down
D A
Let the only sound
Em Bm D F#m
Be the ooooverflow
End Riff:

[Verse 2]
(The same as the 1st with the riff and all)
Bm
D G F#m
And oh poor Atlas
Bm D
The world's a beast of a burden
G F#m Bm
You've been holding on a long time
D G F#m
And all this longing
Bm D
And the ships are left to rust
G F#m Em
That's what the water gave us
[Chorus]
Em Bm
Lay me down
D A
Let the only sound
Em Bm
Be the overflow
D A
Pockets full of stones
Em Bm
Lay me down
D A
Let the only sound
Em Bm D F#m
Be the ooooverflow
[Bridge]
(First 2 are open chords then
it's switched to power chords with PM)
Em
'Cause they took your loved ones
Bm
But returned them in exchange for you
G A
But would you have it any other way?
Em G
Would you have it any other way?
A Em
You could have had it any other way
[Verse 3]
(Instead of the usual guitar
riff there are quiet PMd chords)
Bm
D G F#m
'Cause she's a crueller mistress
Bm D
And the bargain must be made
G F#m Bm
But oh, my love, don't forget me
D G F#m Em
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!!!)
Em Bm
Lay me down
D A
Let the only sound
Em Bm
Be the overflow
D A
Pockets full of stones
Em Bm
Lay me down
D A
Let the only sound
Em Bm G A
Be the ooooverflow
[Chorus]
(This time with a change)
Em Bm
Lay me down
D A
Let the only sound
G Bm
Be the overflow
D A
Pockets full of stones
Em Bm
Lay me down
D A
Let the only sound
G Bm D D
Be the ooooverflow
Then just continue with the regular Chorus chords until it fades out
[Bonus]
(I tried figuring out the harp bit,
not sure though)
