ok i hope this is right - i'm a real beginner. it seems to fit - stress the high e when you play it.

^CCold, cold wa^Gter, Surrou^Amnds me now ^F And a^Cll, that i go^Gt, is your ^Amhand ^F Lord, ^Fcan you hear me no^Gw' Lord, ^Fcan you hear me no^Gw' Lord, ^Fcan you hear me no^Gw' Or am i l^Cost'

listen to it to find where to place the chords. song continues pretty much like that, though the operatic bit at the end (though i challenge anyone to try replicate those vocals...)
