I have made an effort to correspond the chord changes w/lyrics so as
far as i can tell this is very accurate.

Tab ideas:
           Am ....         Dm      h p        Em               Am..
e -----------0------------1----------------------0--0--------------0-|
B ---------1-1------------3-3--------------------0--0------------1-1-|
G ---------2------------2-------2-0-2-0----------0--0----0-------2---|
D -------2------------0-------0------------------2 -2--2-------2-----|
A -----0--------------------------------------2--------------0-------|
E ------------------------------------------0------------------------|


This tablature is just meant as a very rough guide to the finger-picking,
alternatively you could just strum the chords lightly, or do as Banhart
seems to and mix it up.

Transcribed by ear, all my own work.
Good Luck
