Hi Steve,
I love that song too. I'll try to roughly TAB/TALK you through it.
The opening riff is off the opening E minor chord and goes roughly like
this
E-----2-3-0-2--0---------------
B----------------3--0----------
G------------------------------ repeat for intro
D--2----------------------2--2-
A--2----------------------2--2-
E--0----------------------0--0-
So... The intro is a held out E minor.
Emin C G B Emin
Seven more days, she'll be coming. I'll be waiting at the station
Amin B
For her to arrive. Seven more days all I got to do is survive.
and the other change is
Amin Amin
There's kissing in the valley, thieving in the alley
B Emin
Fighting every inch of the way.
Amin Amin
Trying to be tender with somebody I remember
B Emin
In a night that's allways brighter than the day. Seven Days.
Hope this helps. All off the top of my head and I haven't played this
one in a couple of years.
BTW, how's your open tuning playing going? Check out my sig for a
good riff.

Here are some chords, the way Wood does it is similiar but not the
same. (anyone have any ideas?)
sevan days
EM C G
sevan days , sevan long days she'll be comin'
B7 EM
I'll be waitin' at the station
AM
for her to arrive
B7 EM
sevan long days, all I gotta do is survive
She been gone, ever since I been a child,
ever since I seen her smile
I've never forgotten her eyes
She had a face that outshined the sun and the sky
I've been good, i've been good while i've been waitin'
forgive for hesitating,
but i've been hangin on
sevan more days and all that will be gone
there's kissin' in the alley, theiving in the alley
fightin' every inch of the way
trying to get a lead on, providing the feat on
the nights are always sadder than the days
sevan days , sevan days the wind is knowin'
the whistle will be blowin'
and I know she'll be coming for
my beautifull comrade from the north.
repeat last first.
