Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
Superbly beautiful and warm song. Also check this out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UMkGRjyoSo . I tabbed the album version - only 
difference in the last 'ooh boy, ooh boy'
which changes from E to A to E instead of staying on the E. It's a definite improvement 
though, so when you're playing without the CD/LP on, I'd suggest the youtube progression.

GUITAR 1 (acoustic & strumming, while alternating between the E and A string till 'don't
let the swell... ', where it'll take refuge in just strumming)
    E
    E
    The fire's out, the sun is down
    On the beach we were
    Oh, my stars, they're soaring again
    And you've gone on to leave your breath

    B     A       E
    Don't let the swell calm down
        B        A            E
    The water is drowning our faith
    B     A       E          B         A   E
    Don't let the evil light carry our own weight
        B         A     E
    And carry our souls away

    E               A    E
    Ooh, boy, it's a long way,
                    A    (E|-3b4-0-|)E
    It's a long way home               (play 2x)

    E
    Ooh, boy, ooh boy
                A   E
    It's a long way home               (play 2x)

GUITAR 2 (acoustic and filling up space)
    Fig 1, during intro, till 'don't let the swell calm down')
  e|------------------------|
  B|------------------------|
  G|-----------1---------1--|
  D|-2-----2---2---2---2-2--|
  A|-4/5\4-4p2-2---4/5-4-2--|
  E|-0-----0-------0---0-0--|

  G|----------4--|
  D|-----2-4/6—6-|
  A|-2h4---------|
  E|-------------|

GUITAR 3 (electric, heavily distorted, reverbed, tape delayed does some random stuff
with these notes and a slide. Tabbed out the first part, the rest is pretty much untabable,
random slide-movements will produce perfect results!)
  e|-------------------------12-16-|
  B|-------------------12-14-------|
  G|----------------13-------------|
  D|----------12-14----------------|
