I'm not sure if this is really how they play it, but I think it sounds better and it's a 
lot easier.

The First two verses are played with the riff/picking, and then I usually strum the last 
verse. I'll put the
chords for that down below.

Tuning:DADF#AD

Intro/Verse Riff:

 D|------0--------0------0--------0------0--------0------0---------0----------|
 A|----0--------0------0--------0------0--------0------0---------0------------|

                                    ^You can choose whichever note to hit here, they're 
the same,
                                     just an octave apart. I find that the higher one is easier.

Intro: Play the First line of the riff twice.

Verse 1: (Play the Riff for this verse, starting on the 3rd time through on the first line.)

   Well It's a long way out to reach the sea

   But I'm sure I'll find you waitin' there for me

   And by the time I blink I'll see your wul arms swingin'

   Just to meet me in the middle of the road

   And you'll hold me like you'll never let me go

   And beside the salty water water I could hold you close

   But you are far too beautiful to love me


Verse 2: (Play the riff for this verse as well, starting the third time through on the 
first line.)

   Well it's a long haul up the dusty mountain,

   I'll build a turran tall enough to keep you out

   But when you wage your wars against the one who adores you,

   Then you'll never know the treasure that you're worth

   But I've got holes in my pockets burned by liars' gold

   But I think I'm far too poor for you to want me

(Play the entire riff as an instrumental, then we'll start strumming chords.)

Verse 3:
   D  Bm
   D  Bm
   D  A
   Bm G

  D                                      Bm
   It's been a long road losing all I've owned
  D                                           Bm
   You don't know what you've got 'til you're gone
  D                            A
   It's a nasty habit spending all you have
                         Bm                              G
   But if you're the one doing all the leaving then it's never your love lost
              Bm                                    G
   And if you leave before the start then there was never love at all
              Bm                                G
   And heaven knows I'm prone to leave the only God I should have loved

 (Play the first line of the riff for this line)
   And yet you're far too beautiful to leave me
