You can play a regular C instead of C/G. Both are fine but I think C/G sounds nicer.
C/GSet the sails I feel the winds a'stFirring
AmToward the bright horizon set the Gway
EmCast your wreckless dreams upon our FMayflower
GHaven from the world and her deC/Gcay
C/GAnd who could heed the words of Charlie DaFrwin
AmFighting for a system built to Gfail
EmSpooning water from their broken Fvessels
As Gfar as I can see there is no C/Gland
FOh my C/Ggod, the Emwater's alAml around usG  
FOh my C/Ggod, it's alGl arouC/Gnd
[Short Instrumental - Just repeat chords for "Oh my god, the water's all around us, Oh 
god, it's all around"]
C/GAnd who could heed the words of Charlie DaFrwin
AmThe lords of war just profit from deGcay
And Emtrade their children's promise for the Fjingle
The Gway we trade our hard earned time for C/Gpay
FOh my C/Ggod, the waEmter's cold and shaAmpelessG  
FOh my C/Ggod, it's alGl arouC/Gnd
FOh my C/Ggod, liEmfe is cold and foAmrmlesGs
FOh my C/Ggod, it's alGl arouC/Gnd

At the end of the song, Fmaj7 is quickly played before finally finishing on C/G.
