Well ya strum it like it's a bluegrass song.
Key of E, Billy plays it with a Capo on the 2nd Fret so you can use the transpose (-2) feature if you'd like 
the chords relative to the capo. 
[Verse 1]
WEell I'm standin' all aDlone
By the Ariver of my Ghome
TEhinkin' 'bout the days I've left beB7hind
AEll the years I rDode
Not a nAickel can I Gshow
And the rEiver helps to B7ease my worried Emind
[Verse 2]
Well the rEiver run all niDght
Lord, the Ariver runs all dGay
I Ecan't run no more 'cause I'm here to sB7tay
I Ehad an eye for troDuble
And I've Alived a life of pGain
I sit Eback and let that waB7ter heal my bErain
[Chorus]
ID'm letting go of all my Etrouble
I Dthink I'll be right here to sB7tay
WEell the water keeps a-churnDin' while my poor Aheart is Gburnin'
MEuddy water, B7take my pain aEway
[Verse 3]
WeEll one thing I want to knDow
Lord, is wAhere we people goG  
When eEverything comes crashin' to the B7ground
MeeEt me at the creDek
Grab a beAer and tap your fGeet
SEee that muddy B7water flowin' doEwn
[Chorus]
ID'm letting go of all my trEouble
I Dthink I'll be right here to sB7tay
Well the wEater keeps a-churDnin' while mAy poor heart is bGurnin'
MuEddy water, tB7ake my pain aEway

          Chromatic walkdown:  E   G   F#   F   E   G   F#   F   Em(drawn out strum -> jam on  Eminor)
          Jam goes on for like 4 or 5 minutes floating around E minor. Towards the end it
          transitions to Em D Em F#m a few times before walking up E F# G A. It's pretty weird.
          I'm not exactly sure how to explain it, you'll have to listen real carefully.
          Next part transitioning out is kinda tough but you should be able to get it. I'm ~85%
