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:
Shred these notes:

[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)
