Intro:   E    A    D    G    C  Cmaj9  
 then this lick:
 D---------|
 A---0-2---|
 E-/4----0-|  then E
The Cmaj9 is basically just a walk-down from the C to get to the Am, the whole chord is 
strummed, but this is the chord anyway:
E—0
B—1
G—0
D—0
A—2
E—0
The intro is picked in an ascending fashion from low E to high E
I got Ewater on the Abrain
My Dmind is like a dGrain
CHere Cmaj9I go agAmain
Over the Ehill    <-- play the lick over this line.
My eEyes dont seem too cAlear
Im nDot sure what I Ghear
It Cseems Im Cmaj9going cAmlear
 (lick)   E  
Over the hill
GLike a criGppG#le and his crutch
AI have leanAed Ba bit too much
CSeems that I should never touch aGgain
BbNow it seeBbms Bits plain to see
CThat this stuff is killing mCeD  
EbGot to Dquit, so, Ill be free again
I gEot too much to lAose
No oDne can fill my sGhoes
TChink Cmaj9Ill leave Amthe blues
(lick)   E
