These are the two main chords that make up the song
(actually, the main riff)
E--2--2--2-------2-------|
B--3--3--3-------3-------|
G--2--2--2-------0-------|
D--0-----0-------0-------|
A--------0---0---x-------|
E----------------3-------|
Strum those in rhythm, and it should sound right.
Those are the chords for all of the verse parts.
For the bridge, just apreggiate them.
The verse is just a repetition on those chords for 8 bars I think,
heres the chorus
G A Em G D
I'm almost drowning in her sea, shes nearly crawlin on her knees
Fpr the last chorus, its
G A Em A Em
I'm almost drowning in her sea, she's nearly crawlin on her knees,
G D
It's almost everything I need
Essentailly for everything not Tabbed out, play the main riff.
Good luck!

This is a very simple song to play involving a few easy chords with
alternating bass strings played. The effectiveness comes from the haunting,
soulful vocals.
