1st the opening riff
                     3x
E----------------------|--2-3-3-2-3-3-3-2-------\-|
B----------------------|--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---------|
G----------------------|--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---------|
D----4-2-0-0-0---------|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---------|
A--0-----------3-1---3-|--------------------------|
E------------------3---|--------------------------|

The verses are just pretty basic chords that you should
aready know

D
We rented a truck and a semi to go
C
travel down the long and winding road
Bb
look on the map I think we've been here before
A
close the doors lets roll once more

This is the riff thats played over over the chorus

E--------------------\-----------------------------------------------|
B--------------------------------------------------------------------|  On the fourth pass replace the last 2 notes
G--------------------|  with a Bb and C chord and then play the 2nd--|
D-0-0-0-----0--------------------------------------------------------|  part of the 1st riff a couple of times
A-------0-2---2------------------------------------------------------|
E---------------3----------------------------------------------------|

That's the song in a nutshell and should get you well on your way.
Enjoy.
