Check out the tab
Nino Rota - The Godfather Love Theme
 
measure = 4/4
tempo = 100 bpm
in the key of Em
 
Personally, I think it sounds best with capo on 3.
All notes are consecutive eighth notes, with an exception in the bridge,
where the skipped beat is marked with a "~".
 
Remember that the bass strings E, A and D are only played with the thumb,
and strings G, B and E are played with index, middle and ring finger respectively.

The last notes (12) on strings B and E are natural harmonics.
If you are a beginner player, and you don't know what harmonics are, just
play them open (0) to end the song.
 
If you are an intermediate player, feel free to add some slides here and
there. Let the bass notes ring out as long as possible.

Very detailed and includes a lot of explanations about how to actually play it. One of the best tabs I've seen!
