The bass starts out the song, the guitar comes in when you hear the ooohs from 
Layne and the riff, the opening riff, goes like this:

[Chorus 1]
Bm       G
Into the flood again
G                   Bm    G
Same old trip it was back then
Bm          Bm
So I made a big mistake
G             Bm      G
Try to see it once my way

Go back to the opening riff and play it once, then move on to the second verse, 
just like the first, different lyrics:

     Drifting bodies sole desertion       Flying not yet quite the notion
eb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Gb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Db|-----------------------------------2-------------------------------------2-|
Ab|-2h4~2h4~2-2~~~----2h3~2h3~2-2~~~-2--2h4~2h4~2-2~~~------2h4~2h4~2-2~~~-2--|
Eb|-2--~2--~2-3~~~----2--~2--~2-3~~~3---2--~2--~2-3~~~------2--~2--~2-3~~~3---|

[Chorus 2]
Bm       G
Into the flood again
G                   Bm    G
Same old trip it was back then
Bm          Bm
So I made a big mistake
G             Bm      G
Try to see it once my way
(go back to the opener riff, then to the third chorus)

[Chorus 3]
Bm       G
Into the flood again
G                   Bm    G
Same old trip it was back then
Bm          Bm
So I made a big mistake
G             Bm      G
Try to see it once my way
(now it's on to the bridge and the outro):

[Outro]
D7   G#      G              E
Am I wrong?  Have I run too far to get home?
D7     G#     G             E
Have I gone?  Left you here alone.
D7   G#      G              E
Am I wrong?  Have I run too far to get home?
D7     G#     G             E
Have I gone?  Left you here alone.

[Outro]
D7  D7  D7     D7    D7
If  I   would, could you?
