The the words start and you play riff A

but to get a sense of timing heres an example

B                 G                            D
I am a lighthouse worn by the weather and the waves

Second verse if the same as the first only a bit sped up.

Then you got the CHORUS( I powerchord it it sounds right that way)

         C              B               Bb       C       D
And the winds Crashing round and the sand slips out to sea

         C              B                      E    F#  G   A             B
And the winds that blow remind me of what has been...   and what can never be



Then it goes back to riff A  For the interlude and then the next verse

Then you do the chorus again and then you play the intro riff a bunch of times for the last verse
Then you got the chorus one more time and then riff A to finish off the song

Thats A lighthouses tale in a nut shell, Its not as complicated as it seems just listen to the recording, It will 
all fall into place, and there are a few spots that the fingerpicking is different, but I don't think it will
make that much of a difference
