Hi there,
The whole Song is basically one pattern that loops, I´m not sure if it´s 100% accurate
but in my Opinion it sounds damn good. Have Fun and support Will if able :)

After each "Until the Grass gets greener on our side" and as an Intro Will picks a Riff,
he uses some Hammer-Ons and picking skills, but I think this is the basic pattern:

I took the Lyrics from a Comment (Salvatore Pisciotta) on Youtube, not sure about
every Line but most of it should be right:
AmC* C   F  
For twenty winters I was cold,
AmC* C  F  
and on my heart there settled snow.
AmC* C  F  
The darkest places I would roam,
AmC* F  C  
looking for a medicine for my soul.
AmC* C  F  
My friends and I would chase the stars,
AmC* C  F  
and from those battles we're still scarred.
AmC* C  F  
We'd feed ourselves from the tombs
AmC* F  C  
and the dungeons 'neath the city loom.
AmC* C  F  
And I'd often pray as I roamed the street
AmC* C  F  
that an angel might fall at my feet,
AmC* C  F  
that every time the morning came,
AmC* F  C  
a blanket of ice lay on my brain.
AmC* C  F  
As the city burned in the rebel scream,
AmC* C  F  
from my attic window I could dream,
AmC* C  F  
and I told myself to give it time,
AmC* F  C  
'til the grass gets greener on our side
AmC* C  F  
In early spring when the lambs are still blind,
AmC* C  F  
I walked across this land of mine,
AmC* C  F  
and the wheel as wild as a foreign land,
AmC* F  C  
I took my first steps as a man.
AmC* C  F  
In a sleepy town, I stopped to rest
AmC* C  F  
where the winds hit heavy along the cliffs.
AmC* C  F  
That's where I saw her standing there
AmC* F  C  
with big brown eyes and long brown hair;
AmC* C  F  
Where she looked at me with a face so kind,
AmC* C  F  
like I'd known her since the beginning of time.
AmC* C  F  
And we fell into another tense,
AmC* F  C  
where the machines of war don't make no sense;
AmC* C  F  
where the money's as empty as the barrel of a gun;
AmC* C  F  
where the winter never seemed to come.
AmC* C  F  
Well I don't need money when I've got your eyes,
AmC* C  F  
'til the grass gets greener on our side.
AmC* C  F  
Well I'd build you a house by the sea
AmC* C  F  
with a blue and white door and an apple tree,
AmC* C  F  
and from there we'll see the summer's by,
AmC* F  C  
taking or leaving the world outside;
AmC* C  F  
as them politicians come and go,
AmC* C  F  
and they'll build their empires and their roads.
AmC* C  F  
We'll hide behind the rolling hills,
AmC* F  C  
and they'll hide behind their dollar bills,
AmC* C  F  
and they'll claim that they are law,
AmC* C   F  
and all they've ever had's them cannon balls,
AmC* C  F  
which they fire through the setting sun.
AmC* F  C  
The sun doesn't care what they have done.
AmC* C  F  
We'll bury the ground beneath our feet,
AmC* C  F  
for our blue and white door and our apple tree,
AmC* C  F  
and I'll take care of your worried mind
AmC* F  C  
until the grass gets greener on our side
AmC* C  F  
And if our grass stays golden brown,
AmC* C  F  
from the shadows cast upon the ground,
AmC* C  F  
buy me a brush and a tin of green dye,
AmC* F  C  
and I'll paint the grass 'neath the Autumn sky.
AmC* C  F  
And if a stranger rests between our hearts,
AmC* C  F  
if death should ever do us part,
AmC* C  F  
and our molecules turn into dust,
AmC* F  C  
we'll travel through this universe,
AmC* C  F  
and in a thousand trillion years,
AmC* C  F  
on a fire of planet through the stratosphere,
AmC* C  F  
where you and I will be together again,
AmC* F   C  
because love doesn't care about time and space.
AmC* C  F  
But instead of humans, we will be
AmC* C  F  
two little rocks on a windswept beach,
AmC* C  F  
and we'll sit there for the rest of time
AmC* F  C  
'til the grass gets greener on our side.
