Capo at the 6th.  For better sound, use the first set of chords.  For easier play, the second.

D#:  x-0-2-2-x-x        or        x-0-2-2-2-0
G#:  x-5-7-7-x-x        or        x-x-0-2-3-2

* If you are having trouble making the reach to the 5th fret, try using only the pad of your index finger to press the D & G strings down.
This should allow the rest of your fingers to stretch comfortably.

C#
you were standing near the water
D#
when the wind ripped through.
C#
heard your throat open up like a champagne bottle
D#
I heard the one perfect song pouring out of you
D#                                                D# Fill
there was a darkening sky reflected on the river
D#
there was no way of determining where we were

       C#
low hills, colors gone crazy
D#
you standing like a ghost with the water behind you
G#
it's hard to grab a hold of some things sometimes
C#
like you need me to remind you

D# Fill

C#
you were standing near the water
D#
and I was looking at the water
C#
then you went down in the water
D#
and the river began to boil
G#
there was a minute when I thought I knew what you were about
C#
and then you opened up your eyes and the lord came out

       D#
low hills, colors gone crazy
C#
you rising from the water like a bird
D#                                      C#
you had a pure song possessing you from shoulder to hip
      G#
and I recognized every single word

D# Fill
