You can either just play the chords or you can pick the base note of
the chord and then the top string alternating, so for example the
intro would be like this:
[Intro]

e|---1---1---1---1---0---0---0---0---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3-|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------------|

F C G G
[Verse 1]
F C G
All these cities' secrets leech into the soil
F C G
Where the river picks them up and drags them on
F C G
If you lay back on it, let it float you home
F C G
All the centuries drift from the bridges up above
[Chorus]
Dm C G
I was someone's daughter, I was somoone's son
F C G
And the headlines don't call me by my name
Dm C G
Still the headlines don't call me by my name
F C G
Someday I'll be running like a coyote
F C G
Someday I'll be running like the wolves
F C G
Wherever water guides me I will follow
F C G
Oh someday we'll be free enough to grow
F C G
Oh someday we'll be wise enough
[Verse 2]
F C G
Swim out on the river banks searching in the mud
F C G
While the city wakes itself to greet the sun
F C G
Still I am not a hero I am only human
F C G
I just jumped right after when they fell in
[Chorus]
Dm C G
I was someone's daughter, I was somoone's son
F C G
And the headlines don't call me by my name
Dm C G
Still the headlines don't call me by my name
F C G
Someday I'll be running like a coyote
F C G
Someday I'll be running like the wolves
F C G
Wherever water guides me I will follow
F C G
Oh someday we'll be free enough to grow
F C G
Oh someday we'll be wise enough
F C G
Someday we'll be wise enough
