I like the Dadd4 in the chorus, but in live videos, he sometimes plays D7 instead. In place of the D/F# chords
you can also just do a walk-down using the F# and, of course, he uses plenty of hammer-ons and pull-offs
throughout.
To approximate the intro, I play the following measures twice. The notes in parentheses should only be played
the second time through. Note that this tab approximates the intro from the official album version linked
above. The video that YouTube automatically links in the app and on the site is an earlier version of the song
with a different intro.

G C/G G Well, I walked out this evening C G Stood out in front of my house C G (To) see the daylight leaving G D My eyes pointed South G C/G G I felt like I was dreaming, C G (I've) never seen the sky so red C G Gave me strangest feeling, G D Dsus2 D C When a voice inside me said:
[Chorus 1]
Dadd4 G C C/B Am All my life I've been chasing setting suns, Dadd4 G C C/B Am See me running up the hill when the evening comes, Dadd4 G D/F# Em They get further away the faster that I run, Am D I'm getting old and tired of chasing setting suns

G C/G G I walked down to the ocean, C G Sat on the cold hard stones C G Saw the seabirds fishing and the sunlight glisten G D Down on my English home G C/G G I thought back to all the things I've seen C G The people I know and the places I've been C G City skylines and the fields of green, G D Dsus2 D C It's a wonder I made it home
[Chorus 2]
Dadd4 G C C/B Am All my life I've been chasing setting suns, Dadd4 G C C/B Am See me running up the hill when the evening comes, Dadd4 G D/F# Em They get further away the faster that I run, Am D I'm getting old and tired of chasing setting suns

Slow it down and end on a strummed G chord.
