The recording I'm going from is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f22rCQ_nFv0
It starts by finger picking C, then at the chorus he strums, and continues to do so for the remainder of the
song.
[Intro] C
[Verse 1]
C
My body was sleeping
Dm
While my poor mind was dreaming
Am C
When they woke me up I didn't know that I'd been screaming
C Dm
And my old heart was pounding, for the devil had found me
Am C
Trapped me in a corner of my mind
C
And my legs were both shaking
Dm
From the pain they'd been taking
Am C
Picked my body up, and aimed for home
C
But I was warm like a fire
Dm Am C
For I was full of desire to hold on, to not let go
C
Thought of friends, thought of family
Dm
And all who surround me
Am C
Those enemies I danced with, so long ago
C
Let them know
[Chorus]
Am G F Am G F
If you find water, please call my name
Am G F Am G F
Put me out like a fire, cover me in rain
C
[Verse 2]
C
Thought of stars and the planets
Dm
Wondered how they could have planned this
Am
And what were they thinking
C
How could they have known?
C
I felt small but full of pride
Dm
I felt tall for my size
Am C
My eyes were black and fixed on the night
C
And your name just hung
Dm
From a song I had sung
Am
There in the air
C
Suspended by beauty
C
There are words that get spoken
Dm
Oh, and lives the leave broken
Am
Some stone breaks in half
C
And some stones shatters
C
But my speech had been fleeting
Dm
Like the company I'd been keeping
Am C
I never asked for their names and they never asked for mine
C
Just a polluted highway
Dm
Or a clouded skyway
Am C
I'm a mess I confess, now send me the maid
[Chorus]
Am G F Am G F
If you find water, please call my name
Am G F Am G F
Put me on like a fire, cover me in rain
C
[Verse 3]
C
Thought of stages with their singers
Dm
Oh, and painters with their fingers
Am C
I was strong like a horse in carrying my song
C
To drop it off in some stable
Dm
When I was young I was able
Am C
To never turn around, to never look behind
C
To grow old, to grow distant
Dm
Like a mare in the distance
Am C
Bothering no one, so let her live
C
Until she dies
Dm
Picture lilies, picture willows
And a wild open window
Am C
To a room with a view, and both of us laughing
C
Just children so young
Dm
Oh, at least in the scheme
Am
With our hair still there
C
And you keep my teeth clean
C
I sing who is my creator
Dm
Not my mother
Not my father
Am C
But before the universe burst wide on open
[Chorus]
Am G F Am G F
If you find water, please call my name
Am G F Am G F
Put me on like a fire, cover me in rain
Am G F Am G F
If you find water, won't you call my name?
Am G F Am G F
Put me on like a fire, cover me in rain

good tab, but i believe that the third chord in the verses (throughout) should be an F instead of Am
