Dunno if this is the way its actually played cos its hard to get good live footage, but
way sounds pretty damn good to me...
 
Tuning: Tuned to drop-d with a capo on the fourth fret
 
You're gonna need a lot of effects (reverb, eq etc) to get the right sound.

                               Verse
The strumming for this bit is just straightforward 8ths of a bar, i.e pretty fast, so im
gonna write the chord sequence
 
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--2------0------7------5---------------------------------------------------------|
D|--0------0------7------0---------------------------------------------------------|
A|--5------3------5------8---------------------------------------------------------|
D|--5------3------0------8---------------------------------------------------------|
 
I think in some sections he's playing the second chord (3/3/0/0/-/-) with the octave on the D string 
(3/3/3/0/-/-)
for flare. I'd suggest playing around with it to get the right feel.
 
By the way the tabs are written with the fret the capo is on being zero...
