There are two parts to this song:
Cliff -> Capo 2
Derek -> Clean (Key of E, which makes Cliff's part in D for you theory folks)

I will transcribe Cliff's part (which is the melody, really) as accurately
as possible. Derek's will follow at the end, and corresponds directly with
Cliff's, so if there are fans playing both parts, all the changes are at
the same time. Play along with the record and this will make more sense.
All chords are above the ~approximate~ lyric sung at that point. Again,
listen to the record, it will become very clear.

All chords are given relative to the Capo (ie in this case G is really an A,
A->B, etc)

Intro:
G D A D
G D A D
Enter Band:
G D A D
G D A D
First Verse: (Same as Intro Lick)
G D A D
Seven years on the seven seas
G D A D
The winds have ceased all is well at ease
G D A D
There's no tempest to attack me
G D A A ( <-- note this last line, the A is held)
Afloat on the boat of mediocrity

Bridge 1:
G D G D
Way back when You first calmed me
G D A A
At peace with you I'd always be
G D G D
But now it's empty methodology
G D A A
The fine white tomb that no one sees.

Chorus:
G A D D
Ooh Ooh I am perishing
G A D Bm
Within the grey of faith and form
G A D D
Arise rebuke my content and my peace
G A C D
Make my calm, Your storm

Interlude: (Intro Lick)
G D A D
G D A D

Verse 2: (Same as Verse 1)
I want to navigate out of this lukewarm sea
Into the stream of reality
Let the waves throw their threats at me
Makes me hold on more tightly

Bridge 2: (Same as Bridge 1)
I want to set my sails free
Discontent with what will be will be
I want to kill this thief That steals life from me
And kill myself, the pharisee

Chorus: (same chords as above, slightly different lyrics)
G A D D
Save me I am perishing
G A D Bm
In this grey of faith and form

Arise rebuke my content and my peace

Make my calm, Your storm
