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 MajorD|------0--------0------0--------0------0--------0------0---------0----------|
 A augmentedA|----0--------0------0--------0------0--------0------0---------0------------|
F#F#|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 D MajorD|--0------2h4------0------2h4-------------2h4-------------------------------| X4
 A augmentedA|----------------------------------2---------------2-------2p0--------------|
 D MajorD|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
   Start Lyrics 3rd time.

 D MajorD|------0--------0------0--------0------0--------0------0---------0----------|
 A augmentedA|----0--------0------0--------0------0--------0------0---------0------------|
F#F#|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 D MajorD|--0------2h4------0------2h4-------------0h2--------------0h2--------------|

 D MajorD|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

 D MajorD|------0--------0------0--------0------0--------0------0---------0----------|
 A augmentedA|----0--------0------0--------0------0--------0------0---------0------------|

 D MajorD|---------2h4-------------2h4----(5)------2h4----2p0-------2h4--------------| X2
 A augmentedA|--2---------------2--------------------------------------------------------|
 D MajorD|--------------------------------(5)----------------------------------------|
                  ^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 MajorD B minorBm
  D MajorD B minorBm
  D MajorD A augmentedA
  B minorBm G+G

 D MajorD                   B minorBm
  It's been a long road losing all I've owned
 D MajorD                      B minorBm
  You don't know what you've got 'til you're gone
 D MajorD              A augmentedA
  It's a nasty habit spending all you have
             B minorBm               G+G
  But if you're the one doing all the leaving then it's never your love lost
       B minorBm                  G+G
  And if you leave before the start then there was never love at all
       B minorBm                G+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

Outro:
