This is nearly identical to the main acoustic guitar part on the Sea Change
album with just a few added bass and second guitar notes to help fill
out the essence of the recording. These TABS are more accurate than my
YouTube lesson: https://youtu.be/wA7AU7POV6k

Thank you for posting this. It is an elegant arrangement that sounds true to the original. I was struggling to learn it in double drop-D tuning with a capo at the 5th fret.
