We have an official In The Woods Somewhere tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
I didn't tab out the full lead guitar, but the intro is basically
repeated throughout the entire song with slight variations.
 
redkingd pointed out all the A5's are probably D5's. (xx023x)
I think they both sound good, so use whichever sounds better to you.

At the end of every third line play either the interlude above or just:

f#
Her head was warm,
f#
Her skin was soaked.
f#                                    (Interlude with no A5)
I called your name 'til the fever broke.
 
f#
When I awoke
f#
The moon still hung.
f#                                      (Interlude)
The night so black that the darkness hummed
 
f#
I raised myself.
f#
My legs were weak.
f#                         (Interlude with no A5)
I prayed my mind be good to me.
 
f#
An awful noise
f#
Filled the air.
f#                                  (Interlude)
I heard a scream in the woods somewhere.
 
f#
Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo
E
Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo
D                (Interlude)
Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo
 
f#
A woman's voice!
f#
I quickly ran
f#                            (Interlude no A5)
Into the trees with empty hands.
 
f#
A fox it was,
f#
He shook afraid.
f#                           (Interlude)
I spoke no words, no sound he made.
 
He plays this really quick in between verses:
e|--------2------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----5/2------------2-------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------4/2---------2-2-2--------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------2-2-2-2---(Interlude)------------------------------|
A|--------------------------0-0-0--------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
f#
His bone exposed,
f#
His hind was lame.
f#                         (Interlude with no A5)
I raised a stone to end his pain.
 
f#
What caused the wound?
f#
how large the teeth?
f#                           (Interlude)
I sure knew eyes were watching me.
 
f#
Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo
E
Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo
D                It sounds like he plays A5 then Ab5 then does the Interlude
Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo
 
f#
The creature lunged.
f#
I turned and ran
f#
To save a life I didn't have.
 
f#
Deer in the chase
f#
There as I flew
f#                        (Interlude)
Forgot all prayers of joining you.
 
(Only lead fingerpicking)
I clutched my life
(No chord)
And wished it kept.
(No chord)
My dearest love I'm not done yet
 
(No chord)
How many years
(No chord)
I know I'll bear
(No chord)                              (Interlude)
I found something in the woods somewhere.
 
f#
Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo
E
Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo
D                 End on D
Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo

I'm pretty sure that A5 is actually D5

Gotta say, wishing for a little guidance on the lead guitar variations. But, all in all, great work!
