You only hear the bass in the verses but
I'll show the chords with the lyrics in case of...

[Bm]
[D]Time it too[G]k us [F#m]

[Bm]To where the wat[D]er was

[G]That's what the [F#m]water gav[Bm]e me

[D]And time goes q[G]uicker[F#m]

[Bm]Between the tw[D]o of us

[G]Oh, my [F#m]love, don't for[Bm]sake me

[D]Take what the water g[Em]ave me

{section: Chorus}
(You still pretty much only hear the bass but
I usually play power-chords when the drums fade in)

Lay me d[Em]own      [Bm]

Let the [D]only so[A]und

Be the [Em]overflow    [Bm]

Pockets f[D]ull of ston[A]es

Lay me d[Em]own      [Bm]

Let the [D]only s[A]ound

Be the [Em]oooo[Bm]verf[D]low   [F#m]

{sot}[End]

{section: Verse 2}
(The same as the 1st with the riff and all)

[Bm]
And [D]oh poor [G]Atlas [F#m]

The world's [Bm]a beast of a burd[D]en

You've been h[G]olding [F#m]on a l[Bm]ong time

And [D]all this l[G]onging    [F#m]

And the [Bm]ships are le[D]ft to rust

[G]That's what the [F#m]water g[Em]ave us

{section: Chorus}
Lay me d[Em]own      [Bm]

Let the [D]only so[A]und

Be the [Em]overflow    [Bm]

Pockets f[D]ull of ston[A]es

Lay me d[Em]own      [Bm]

Let the [D]only s[A]ound

Be the [Em]oooo[Bm]verf[D]low   [F#m]

{section: Bridge}
(First 2 are open chords then
it's switched to power chords with PM)

'Cause they took your l[Em]oved ones

But returned them in exc[Bm]hange for you

But would you have it any [G]other way?       [A]

Would you [Em]have it any [G]other way?

You could h[A]ave had it any [Em]other way

{section: Verse 3}
(Instead of the usual guitar
riff there are quiet PMd chords)

[Bm]
'Cause she's a cr[D]ueller mi[G]stress  [F#m]

And the [Bm]bargain m[D]ust be made

But[G] oh, my love, d[F#m]on't for[Bm]get me

But [D]I let the water t[G]ake me    [F#m]           [Em]

{section: Chorus}
(Still with the bass, maybe a couple of slides
and notice the change at the last line!!!)

Lay me [Em]down     [Bm]

Let the [D]only so[A]und

Be the [Em]overflow    [Bm]

Pockets f[D]ull of ston[A]es

Lay me d[Em]own      [Bm]

Let the [D]only s[A]ound

Be the [Em]oooo[Bm]verf[G]low   [A]

{section: Chorus}
(This time with a change)

Lay me [Em]down     [Bm]

Let the [D]only so[A]und

Be the [G]overflow   [Bm]

Pockets f[D]ull of ston[A]es

Lay me d[Em]own      [Bm]

Let the [D]only s[A]ound

Be the [G]ooo[Bm]over[D]flow [D]

Then just continue with the regular Chorus chords until it fades out

{sot}[Bonus](I tried figuring out the harp bit,
not sure though)
