It's hard to tell if he plays Asus4 or Dsus2, but I think this sounds better, of the two

capo 1

D    : --0232
Asus4: -02230
G    : 320033
Em   : 022000
A    : -02220
Dsus4: --0233


D

D                       Asus4
They'll be singing out loud
                   D
When the water goes through the crowd
                       Asus4
They'll be howling for you
                   D
When the waves come crashing through
              G
I brought my friend.  Here he comes,
                         D
Splashing, gurgling for you
                                           Em          A
Now the water runs through the streets unimpaired
        D
Crashing through
                        
                        Asus4
They'll be saying your name
                             D
Every voice different, every word the same
                        Asus4
They'll be holding you up
                                D
Too close to the sun, but I will make them stop
               G
I brought my friend.  Here he comes.
                         D
Splashing, gurgling for you
                                               Em       A
And now the water runs through the streets unimpaired
       D
Rushing through


[Small break where he throws in a few Dsus4's]


Still, still singing, we will stand in the light
When my friend gets here, he will set things right
They'll be singing for one thing, and they'll get this instead
Let them come and get me, let them strike me dead
I brought my friend.  Here he comes.
Splashing, gurgling for you
Now the water runs through the streets unimpaired
Rushing through

I brought my friend.  Here he comes.
Splashing, gurgling for you
And now the water runs through the streets unimpaired
Rushing through
