The chords I have for the intro come in after the hi-hat. It's about 4 seconds in
as I noted below.
 
It may seem suspicious that I virtually have only two chords, but they're really
the only ones in there. Could I find other ones that kinda fit?
I'm sure I could, but she doesn't use them.
Sorry if the lyrics are a bit off, I got them off a lyrics site and fixed any
errors I found but a couple words are a little hard to make out.
 
 
 
[Intro - 0:04]  C, F X2
 
 
C
Out across cities I see buildings burn into piles
    F
And watch the world in wonder as mountains turn into tiles
        C
And trees losing their leaves and their faces becoming tired
  F
I wish I could discover something that doesn't expire
         C
Come and stumble me
 
 
[Chorus]
C
 Take me river carry me far
F
 Lead me river like a mother
C                           F
 Take me over to some other unknown
                      C
Pull me in the undertow
 
 
C
Such are the things that make a kingdom rumble and shatter
    F
The same dynamic that another day would never matter
   C
It really just depends on who's giving and who's receiving
    F
And things that don't make sense are always a little deceiving
         G       F
Come and humble me
 
 
[Chorus]
C
 Take me river carry me far
F
 Lead me river like a mother
C                           F
 Take me over to some other unknown
                      C
Pull me in the undertow
 
 
  Am       F            C
I wanna go where you're going
  Am
A follower following
F
Changing but never changed
G                      F
Claiming but never claimed
 
 
[Chorus]
C
 Take me river carry me far
F
 Lead me river like a mother
C                           F
 Take me over to some other unknown
 
Pull me in the undertow
 
C
 Take me river carry me far
F
 Lead me river like a mother
C                           F
 Take me over to some other unknown
 
Pull me in the undertow
 
 
C
 Take me river carry me far
F
 Lead me river like a mother
C                           F
 Take me over to some other unknown
                      C
Pull me in the undertow

Capo 8 for the acoustic version

The first little pre-chorus ("Come and stumble me") should be G then to F like in the second verse, but other than that, great!
