I am a beginner myself, so please bear with any mistakes. 

He uses double Drop D (DADGHD) tuning, with a few special voicings:
 
D/H     A/F#    D/G    D/F#-G   Dx      Dy      D/A
-4-     -2-     -0-    -0-     -0-     -0-     -0-
-3-     -2-     -3-    -3-     -3-     -3-     -3-
-2-     -2-     -2-    -2-     -2-     -2-     -2-
-4-     -2-     -0-    -0-     -2h4-   -2r4-   -0-
-2-(x)  -0-     -0-    -0-     -0-     -0-     -0-(x)
-0-     -4-(x)  -5-(x) -4h5-(x)-0-(x)  -0-(x)  -0-

h is hammer on, r is release, (x) denotes the string used to play the bass note

Note that he is a bit careless with time so just go with the flow! 
Each chord symbol and . denotes a beat in 4/4 time.

The lyrics are (arranged to 4 bars per line)


[Verse]

       D/H              A         A/F#
God's given us years of happiness here
    D/G     Dx   Dy
Now we must part
    D/H           A        A/F#
And as the angels come and call for you
    A        D    D/F#-G     Dx   
The pangs of grief tug at my heart


[Chorus]

      A           D/A
Oh my darling, my darling
         A             A/F#      D/G       Dx  Dy 
My heart breaks as you take Your lone journey


[Verse]

    D/H                    A         A/F#
The days will be empty the nights so long
        D/G     Dx   Dy
Without you my love
       D/H                   A    A/F#
And as God calls for you I'm left alone
    A       D       D/F#-G    Dx  
But we will meet in heaven above


[Chorus]

      A           D/A
Oh my darling, my darling
         A             A/F#      D/G       Dx   Dy
My heart breaks as you take Your lone journey


[Verse]

     D/H                       A     A/F#
Fond memories I'll keep of the happy days
        D/G      Dx  Dy
That on earth we trod
    D/H             A        A/F#
And when I come we will walk hand in hand
   A      D         D/F#-G        Dx
As one in heaven in the family of God


[Chorus]

      A           D/A
Oh my darling, my darling
         A             A/F#      D/G       Dx   Dy
My heart breaks as you take Your lone journey
