my clumsy notation for the intro and instrumentals:
| separate the measures, * is a whole note, and - is a half note
 
[Intro] G   G/F#  Em     C    Cmaj7  G   G/F# Em  C C/B Am7 F#*  G      Fmaj7
       |***-  - | **** | * *   * * | ***- - |  *  -  -   *   * | **** | ****
 
[Verse]
G                                      G - G/F# -
It's a churchyard auction, a sight to see,
          Em
where the eyes are big, and the odds are lean.
     C                         Cmaj7
The pockets all are empty, the chances all are gone,
               G                           G - G/F# - Em
but there's a free bet yet on a house of stone,
C – C/B – Am7     F#*      G
mmm- mmm- mmm  a house of stone.
 
     G                           G - G/F# -
Now some may sing sounds of hallelujah
     Em
and dream about a mansion of gold
        C                  Cmaj7
but to each be true, and to each be known
     G                                    G - G/F# - Em
My dreams all are resting on a house of stone,
C – C/B – Am7     F#*      G
mmm- mmm- mmm  a house of stone. 
 
[Instr] G   G/F#  Em     C    Cmaj7   G   G/F# Em  C C/B Am7 F#*  G      Fmaj7
       |***-  - | **** | * *   * *  | ***- - |  *  -  -   *   * | **** | ****
 
          G                                  G - G/F# -
Say that devil's a sly one with many kind friends.
     Em
His riches are boundless, they know no end.
 C                      Cmaj7
Down in the valley, the shadow's grown,
            G                                         G - G/F# - Em
but in the light high o'er Calvary, sits a house of stone,
C – C/B – Am7     F#*      G
mmm- mmm- mmm  a house of stone. 
 
[Finale]
 G  G/F#   Em   C  C/B  Am7  F#*   G
 -   -   |  *   -   -    *    *  | * (hold)

Anybody figure out the picking to this song? It's so beautiful! I don't really get your tab for the intro. Can you write it out?

I think you meant * = a quarter note, and -- = an eighth, unless we're working in 4/1.
