The chords you will need to know are C major, G major, E minor A minor, F major
I don't know the intro but the part before he plays C is
Fig 1
E---------------------|
B---------------------|
G---------------------|
D---------------------|
A-----------0-----2---|
E-----3---------------|
then you play C and he hammers the 2nd fret D string and then plays the open G like this:
E--------0--------------|
B--------1--------------|
G--------0---------0----|
D--------2---0h2--------|
A----3---3--------------|
E--------x--------------|
Then the song essentially goes like this:
Fig1 C
Them purple shadows fall across
Em
And they soften everything they touch
F G Am G
And they give me-e a place to hide
Fig1 C
And the moonlight all around
Em
Surely going to wash these troubles down
F G Am G
And cool the awful burning-ness of love
F

Talkin bout the burning-ness
G Am
Yeah the burning-ness, oh the burning-ness
F
Yeah the burning-ness
G C G
We will cool down the awful burning-ness of love
Then it's just the same for the rest of the song apart from the very last part where he
swaps the C for an E minor then goes back to how it's played in the rest like this:
G Em F
We will cool down the awful burning-ness of love ooooh ooooh
G C G
We will cool down the awful burning-ness of love
Here are the rest of the lyrics:
I hear your echo on the run
And them tears will start to come
They will dry me u-up and I?ll simply blow away
But while I'm blowin in the wind
Surely gonna feel again your soft skin
And remember-er the awful burning-ness of love
Talkin bout the burning-ness
Yeah the burning-ness, oh the burning-ness
Yeah the burning-ness
We will cool down the awful burning-ness of love
And the moonlight all around
Surely going to wash these troubles down
And cool the awful burning-ness of love
Talkin bout the burning-ness
Yeah the burning-ness, oh the burning-ness
Yeah the burning-ness
We will cool down the awful burning-ness of love
