Should be more accurate than the other ones here. You can watch them playing here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaH-zhseWP0 and get a pretty good view of what they
are playing. Just tell me if there's anything that bothers you in this tab or in life
in general. Enjoy!
Chords do have some hammer on/pull offs that I left out.
You can just play Am-G instead of the Riff.

DAm
lady on the water
GD
make me rich, make me poor,
CG
lay your flowers at my door
DAm
lady on the water
GD
bring me branches, bring me twine
CG
wrap my heart upon the vine
EmCG
with your wine dye my feathers
D Am Riff1
as the cock crows giving time

DAm
awake, my lady on the water
GD
share my bread and share my drink
CG
pay no mind to what others think
DAm
lady on the water
GD
with this wind and to flame
CG
with your grapes and bottled rain,
EmCG
make your wine of my worship
D Am Riff1
a divinely strange refrain
GD
or make it rain
AmGDCG
Em C G D Riff1
DAm
my lady on the water
GD
place your thumb upon my tongue
CG
be the song no one has sung
DAm
lady on the water
GD
with your jacket blue and strange
CG
change these rivers in my veins
EmCG
into wine, learning, burning,
D Am Riff1
driven deep into this maze
GD
all of my days
AmGDCG
Em C G D Riff1
DAm
my lady on the water
GD
lead me from the wilderness
CG
to countless deserts, dreams, and jests

lady on the water

rest my head upon your chest
CG
leave me only when i'm blessed
EmCG
cause i'll be in my own country
D Am Riff1
good and dead and gone to rest
GD
that's the way that's the best
AmGDCG
