+rob - It sounds like he's using the "high octave" set out of a pack of 12 strings strung on a normally strung guitar... and then tuning that guitar to A# - It's a tricky move and can probably only be used for this track :) But he's got loads of guitars, so he can afford to do it :)
I think it's some open G tuning. I don't think it's open a the top two strings are tuned the same and possibly the bottom two. I've played songs in D-A-D-D-D-D but that's usually to get a sort of ringing out sound. And the top strings don't stay in tune for long. The middle strings are where he plays with the middle of the note, so I think those strings are tuned different to the top and bottom which ring the same.
This is one of the best songs of all time.
I found this song via Me Myself and Irene. AND I found the greatest story teller since Harry Chapin . AWESOME!!!

Open A ..I only assume because the way I play it I play the first chrord of chorus as an A and he plays an open strum. But who knows

does anyone have the tabs to play this song the way he plays it here, i dont wanna play the basic way forever :)
He's playing with weird open tuning. Better to play the basic way.
If you ever figured out the chords please let me know! I figure it’s in Open B flat tuning but as for the fingering of the chords I’m lost.
I wonder what kind of guitar that is ;;; ???
It's a Michal Kelly
