Hi Steve,
I love that song too. I'll try to roughly TAB/TALK you through it.
The opening riff is off the opening E minor chord and goes roughly like
this
E-----2-3-0-2--0---------------
B----------------3--0----------
G------------------------------ repeat for intro
D--2----------------------2--2-
A--2----------------------2--2-
E--0----------------------0--0-
So... The intro is a held out E minor.
EminSeven more Cdays, she'll be Gcoming. BI'll be waiting at the Eminstation
AminFor her to arrive. Seven more days Ball I got to do is survive.
and the other change is
AminThere's kissing in the valley, Aminthieving in the alley
BFighting every inch of the Eminway.
AminTrying to be tender with someAminbody I remember
In a Bnight that's allways brighter than the day. Seven EminDays.
Hope this helps. All off the top of my head and I haven't played this
one in a couple of years.
BTW, how's your open tuning playing going' Check out my sig for a
good riff.

Here are some chords, the way Wood does it is similiar but not the
same. (anyone have any ideas')
sevan days
EMsevan days , seCvan long days she'll be cGomin'
I'll be waiB7tin' at the sEMtation
Amfor her to arrive
B7sevan long days, all I gotta do is surviEMve
She been gone, ever since I been a child,
ever since I seen her smile
I've never forgotten her eyes
She had a face that outshined the sun and the sky
I've been good, i've been good while i've been waitin'
forgive for hesitating,
but i've been hangin on
sevan more days and all that will be gone
there's kissin' in the alley, theiving in the alley
fightin' every inch of the way
trying to get a lead on, providing the feat on
the nights are always sadder than the days
sevan days , sevan days the wind is knowin'
the whistle will be blowin'
and I know she'll be coming for
my beautifull comrade from the north.
repeat last first.
