           I've              been 
       struck dumb   by a voice that
           speaks        from deep
       beneath the cold black water

               It's twice as clear as heaven
               It's deep and rich like silt on a riverbed
               the currents mouth below me

A------3---6-------------5====-------------6-6-6\3-3\---------*-------
D--5h7---0-----0----------------0-------------------------------------
               and twice as loud as reason
               and just as undisturbing (?)
               opens up around me

G----------------------------------------------------5h7--------------
D------------------------------------------------3h5------------------
A------3---6-------------5====-------------6-6-6----------------------

               suggests and beckons all while swallowing

G---------------------------------------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------------------------------------
A------3---6-------------5====-------------6-6-6\3-3\-----------------
D--5h7---0-----0----------------0---------------------2---------------
               It surrounds and drowns and sweeps me away

           I've              been 
       baptized      by your voice
        it screams      from deep 
         beneath the endless water
