Listen to the song to get the picking pattern.

Song goes like this, with chords placed over where they occur:

Verse:

G
Cold is the water
                C
It freezes your already cold mind
                    G       (fill)
Already cold, cold mind
G
And death is at your doorstep
                        C
And it will steal your innocence
                             G         (fill)
But it will not steal your substance

Chorus:

    D           C         G
But you are not alone in this
    C           Em        G
And you are not alone in this
    C               Dsus4           G         Em    <--(walk down)
As brothers we will stand and we'll hold your hand
Em         G
Hold your hand

(fill)

Verse:

G
And you are the mother
                    C
The mother of your baby child
                          G     (fill)
The one to whom you gave life
G
And you have your choices
                    C
And these are what make man great
                   G            (fill)
His ladder to the stars

Chorus:

    D            C         G
But you are not alone in this
     C          Em        G
And you are not alone in this
     C              Dsus4            G        Em      <--(walk down)
As brothers we will stand and we'll hold your hand
Em         G
Hold your hand

(fill , build up momentum to strumming)

Climax/Breakdown:

    C Dsu4  Em   C    G
And I will tell the night
C    Dsus4   Em   C    G
Whis-per,   "Lose your sight"
    C Dsus4  Em   C   G     C          G
But I can't  move the moun-tains for you


Don't forget to play the Em differently on that last bit and play the C the same you 
as in the chorus.

Hope this was helpful it is a beautiful song.
