The acoustic guitar is actually played in open C tuning, and the lower strings form sort of a drone throughout. Low to high, the tuning is
C G C G C E -4 -2 -2 0 +1 0 (deviation from standard)
and the basic riff is then
005555 004003 002001 000000
Don't ask me how to play the Am-G-F part or the Bb-C in that tuning, though...

PS: Incidentally, the Moody Blues' "Question" is also in open C, and uses the *exact* same pattern under the "it's not the way that you say it" part. Try it! The verses go
Ebdim Dm C Why do we never get an answer
where Ebdim = 000232 (that's right, the same fingering as D in standard) Dm = 002001 C = 000000
