You have to accentuate the bass. ()
..don't drink the water...
Verse I:
D5 Am5/D [Figure 1] D5
Come out, come out, no use in hiding
D5 Am5/D [Figure 1] D5
Come out, come out, can you not see?
D5 Am5/D [Figure 1] D5
Theres no place here what were you expecting?
D5 Am5/D [Figure 1] D5
No room for both, just room for me
G5 D5 [Figure 1] D5
So you will lay your arms down
G5 D5 [Figure 1] D5
Yes I will call this home
Verse II:
Away, away
You have been banished
Your land is gone and given me
And here I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
What's this you say?
You feel a right to remain? Then stay
And I will bury you
Bridge:
Bm
Whats this you say?
G5
You feel a right to remain? Then stay
D5 [Figure 1] D5
And I will bury you
Bm
Whats this you say?
G
Your fathers spirit still lives in this place?
D5 [Figure 1] D5
Well, I will silence you
Verse III:
Here's the hitch, your horse is leaving
Don't miss your boat its leaving now
G5 D5
And as you go I will spread my wings
G5 D5
Yes I will call this home
Bridge II:
Bm
I have no time
G5
To justify to you. Fool you're blind
D5
Now move aside for me
Bm
All I can say
G5
To you my new neighbor is you must move on
D5
Or I will bury you
G5 D5
Now as I rest my feet by this fire
G5 D5
Those hands once warmed here, well I have retired them
G5 D5
And I can breathe my own air and I can sleep more soundly
Bm
Upon these poor souls
G5 D5
I'll build Heaven and call it home
Cause your all dead now
End:
Bb/D D5
And I live with my justice
And I live with my greedy need
I'm gonna live with no mercy
And I'll live with my frenzied feeding
I live with my hatred
And I'll live with my jealousy
I'm gonna live with the notion
That I don't need anyone but me....
Don't drink the water
Don't drink the water
There's blood in the water
Don't drink the water
Ending: Bb/D D5

Is not complicated,
if you want this to sound good you will need a bass.
