This is an absolutely beautiful song. Probably one of the best Live songs I’ve ever heard.
If you’ve heard it you know what I mean and if you’ve heard the WTC version then you really
know what I mean. These are just the basic chords. There are also little flourishes that I
don’t know how to do since the song is played on piano instead of guitar. If you have any
corrections please let me know.
The chords used are basic power chords (low to high)
1. 7,9,9,x,x,x
2. 5,7,7,x,x,x
3. x,7,9,9,x,x,x
4. x,9,11,11,x,x
5. 9,11,11,x,x,x

Verses

Chorus:

That’s about it…I don’t know the names of those chords. Sorry it's kinda hard to understand.
Lyrics:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/l/live/overcome_crd_ver_4.html ]
Even now the world is bleeding
The feeling just fine all numb in the castle
Where we’re always free to choose
Never free enough to find
I wish something would break
Because we’re running out of time
And I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome
Holy water in my lungs
I am overcome
There’s women in the street
Pulling out their hair
My master’s in the yard
Giving life to the unaware
This blasted little place
Is just a step amongst the stares
And I am overcome, yeah
I am over come, baby
Holy water in my lungs
I am overcome
So drive me out
Out to that open field
Turn the ignition off
And spin around
You’re helpless here
But I’m caught in this open space
Locked in the gates of love
And I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs
I am overcome
I am overcome, oh lord
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs, holy water, holy water
I am overcome
Beautiful drowning
This beautiful drowning
This holy water
This holy water
Is in my lungs
And I am overcome
I am overcome, yeah, yeah
I am overcome
I am overcome
