This song is being played with the help of a capodaster at the first fret. So actually you play the whole song in C# instead of C, but the song is transcribed as if you are playing in normal tuning. The song is played in a neat fingerpicking style. The high E is never played. Instead, the C (played at the B-string) is played continually throughout the whole song.
The chords might look a bit scary, but just take a normal C chord. C/B means that same chords, but only with a B in the bass. Just lower the bass note of the normal C one fret lower and there you have the C/B. All other chords follow that same principle. Just as you make sure that you continuously play the C note on the second string, first fret.
When you look at the chords, you can see a bassline walking from C - B - F - G and back to C. This ‘walking bass’ is played solely on the fifth (A) and sixth (E) string. Only in the chorus the fourth string(D) is used in the C/F* , C/E chords. (C/F* has an * because this chord played with a different bass note compared to the ‘normal’ C/F)

Waves of salt and sand in whispers
Held in your hand
DO DO/SI DO/FA DO/SOLA magic heart that takes you away
DO DO/SI DO/FA DO/SOLFrom the things you just don’t understand
Color me a tragedy in blue and I will think of you
DO DO/SI DO/FA DO/SOLIt’s funny how your heart desires
DO DO/SI DO/FA DO/SOLWhat your soul can never let you do
And you still wait hiding your head so low
DO DO/SI DO/LA DO/FAThe silence was broken
DO/SOL DO DO/SI DO/FA DO/SOLHere you didn’t let go
So catch your breath in a jar of steel
To keep till your day of passing
In a box underneath your soul kept safe
With only your g-d watching
And you still wait
Hiding your head so low
The silence was broken
Here you didn’t let go
Now I will, I will

Hiding your head so low
The silence was broken
