Drop-D
I think he uses a pick.
Main riff/intro (played almost the whole way through the song):
G|------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------|
D|--3--3--0h6--6--0h1--1--0h1-0h3h6---|
In the pre-chorus, there is no bass. (The bit with "and lets not ever take it back" etc..)
