This is an absolutely beautiful song. Probably one of the best Live songs I’ve ever heard.
If you’ve heard it you know what I mean and if you’ve heard the WTC version then you
really know what I mean. These are the basic chords and I’m almost positive that they
are right. Thank you to Bruce for your help naming the chords and fixing the bridge for
me. This was my first attempt at tabbing anything. I also fixed the lyrics and now I
know those are 100% right. Enjoy. Once again, please write me with any questions or
comments @ mredman81@aol.com (please put something like "Overcome.tab" in the
subject line")

Lyrics:
even now
the world is bleedin’
but feelin’ just fine
all numb in the castle
where we’re always free to choose
never free enough to find
i wish somethin’ would break
cuz we’re runnin’ out of time
and i am overcome, yeah
i am overcome
holy water in my lungs
i am overcome
these women in the street pullin’ out their hair
my master’s in the yard
givin’ light to the unaware
this plastic little place
is just a step amongst the stares
and i am overcome
i am overcome
holy water in my lungs
i am overcome
so drive me out
out to that open field
turn the ignition off
and spin around
your help is here
but i’m parked in this open space
blockin’ the gates of love
and i am overcome
i am overcome
holy water in my lungs
i am overcome
beautiful drowning
this beautiful drowning
this holy water
this holy water is in my lungs
and i am overcome
i am overcome
i am overcome
i am overcome
