We have an official In A Week tab made by UG professional guitarists.

Hozier plays it in open G tuning. Once you get this thumb plucking rhythm down it is not too difficult.
Listen to the track to get when he repeats little riffs, changes it up, etc.

      I have never known peace like the damp grass that yields to me
      I have never known hunger like these insects that feast on me
                  A thousand teeth and yours among them, I know
              Our hungers appeased, our heart beats becoming slow

I have never known sleep like the slumber that creeps to me
I have never known color like this morning reveals to me
And you haven't moved an inch such that I would not know
If you sleep always like this the flesh calmly going cold
