Opening is basically a finger picking of a normal D chord.
Most of the song (except the chorus) is pretty much played
the same way.
[Verse 1]
DShe was morning and I was night time.
I one day woke up to find her lyin' bGeside my bed.
I softly said, D"Come take me."
For DI've been lonely, in need of someone
As though I'd done someone wrong somewhere, but I dGon't know where.
I don't know where, come Dlately
[Chorus]
GYou are the sun, AI am the moon
G/BYou are the words, A7I am the tune, Dplay me
[Verse 2]
DSong, she sang to me, song she brang to me,
Words that rang in me, rhyme that sprang from me Gwarmed the night.
And what was right  Dbecame me.
[Chorus]
GYou are the sun, AI am the moon
G/BYou are the words, A7I am the tune, Dplay me
