A simple version.  Arrange it as you see fit.  
Repeated:  C   G   F  C  
and when the angels Ccome they'll cut you down the mGiddle
to see if you're still tFhere to see if you're still thCere
and underneath your Cribs they'll find the heart shaped Glocket
an old photoFgraph of you in daddy's Carms
and then they'll sew you cClosed and give you back to the Gwater
from where we're all Fborn from where we're all Cborn
and you'll feed the Cghosts and you'll feed the lGiving
you'll be a stFranger and you'll a Cfriend
you'll be the Cleper and you'll be the hGealer
you'll be the Fhero and the trageCdy
and when they sew you cClosed they'll give you back to the Gwater
from where we're all Fborn from where we're all Cborn
and when they burn your Cbody all that's left is Gsand crystals
two tiny Fhandfuls all the rest is Cwater, water, water
all you need to Cknow is you were born of Gwater
you are made of Fwater you are living Cwater, water, water
(Repeat 3X)
