There are two guitars for the most part: strumming and picking.
THE STRUMMED GUITAR HAS DROP D TUNING.
 
 
--INTRO (after vocal intro) (0:21):
 
Strummed guitar plays this repeated D major chord:
 
e|--x--|
B|--3--|
G|--2--|
D|--0--|
A|--0--|
D|--0--|
 
Picking guitar plays this (listen to song to get a sense of rhythm, cos its
quite tricky):

Strummed chords for verse (drop d tuning):
 
D|00023x
Am/D|002210
Dsus2|000230
A6add4|x07779
D6/A|x07777
 
 
Am/D                Dsus2
The sun rises, over my head.
Am/D                  D
In the morning, when I
 
 
--Break similar to second half of the intro.
 
 
--VERSE 2 (1:13):
 
Am/D                  Dsus2
Hold me dear, into the night.
Am/D                         A6add4   D6/A  A6add4
Sun it will rise soon in the.
 
 
--ELECTIRC GUITAR BREAK: all on D chord. Acoustic parts here are the same as
        (1:38)           in the intro. Often at cross rhythms, so the
                         measures here cant be totally accurate.
