The little C/G* thing at the end of the verses goes something like this.
It's very similar to the intro but the hammer-on is on the B string and starts a bit later.

The chords are really simple and repeat themselves - so I have just written them out for the first time of
each new part for readability's sake.

Will Varley – Dark Days Away

[Intro]
G        C/G*     G

[Verse]
C/G                                                     G     C/G*    G
She could be my gas and water, she could be my electricity
C/G                                                        G    C/G*    G
She could be my son and daughter, she could be my daytime TV
C/G                              G     C/G*    G
She'd be my 17, 39, 48, 25 and more
            D                   C                             G    C/G*   G
She'd be my last glass of wine, she could be my drunken phone calls

Well, she could be my sun and moon and the light thats fills the room at dawn
She'd be my hadron collider, my broken typewriter and more

Well she'd be my whiskey and my gin, she could be my Marilyn Monroe
She'd be the day that I left, she could be the day the day that I came home

[Chorus]
    G   Am7   G/B  Cadd9
And she could take these
D    G/B D/A Cadd9
dark days away

[Verse]
(from now on, you may add the 9 instead of just playing a C/G)

She'd be my now and then, she could be my future and my long-lost past
She'd be my lover and my friend, she'd be the answer when the question's asked

She'd be my monday morning, tuesday night, saturday, thursday afternoon
She'd be my "how have you been?", my "I'm alright" and my "see you soon"

She could be my October winds and my november rain
She'd be my brand new diamond ring and my rusty old chain

Well she could be middle street half an hour before the sunrise
Well she could be my war and peace she could be the one that keeps me up all night

[Chorus]
And she could take these
dark days away

[Bridge]
             Cadd9                                                          D
She'd be the air that I breathe and the wind that takes my ashes 'cross the mountain
             Cadd9                                                   D
She'd be the colors that I see, the black holes, the stars and their surrounding
            Cadd9                                                      D
She'd be my dreams and what I'm dreaming, she'd be what I remember bein' awake
            Cadd9    G/B       D7/A            G    C/G   G
She'd be my first memories, my winin' rose in my dyin' days

[Chorus 2x]
And she could take these
dark days away
dark days away
dark days away
