This song uses an open-D tuning on two acoustics, played finger-picked style.
Don't worry, it's not as bad as it sounds.  All that's necessary is to tune
down 3 of your strings a little.
Delirious has it in DADGAd tuning, so start by going into double-drop-D, 
tuning both the low E and the high e strings down to D notes. (DADGBd)
Then tune the B string down to an A, and you're all set.
