There are a lot of hammer-ons in this song...particularly in the G's. The version I
know was off of a Bob Dylan documentary so I saw him play everything. The hammer-ons
for the G chord are on on the D string and A string, (from 0 to 2 each string and
strum). After the G in "...here to do", it's a progression from the G to C chord like
so...

B|-----------1---|
G|-----------0---|

E|--3--------0---|
You can figure it out just listening. This is one of my first tablatures I've written,
only cause they take so much time and I can usually find them, but if you notice
anything wrong, just let me know. Email's at the bottom. Beautiful song though.
Enjoy
[Verse 1]
When you're Gfeeling kind of Clonesome in your Gmind
With a heartache following Cyou so close beGhind
CCall out to me as I ramble Dby
I'll sing a Csong for Gyou
CThats's what I'm here to Gdo
To Csing for Gyou
[Verse 2]
When the Gnight has left you Ccold and feeling Gsad
I will show you that it Ccannot be so Gbad
CForget the one who went and made you Dcry
I'll sing a Csong for Gyou
CThats's what I'm here to Gdo
To Csing for Gyou
[Verse 3]
When you Gfeel you just can't Cmake it anyGmore
With your head bowed down you're Cstaring at the Gfloor
CSearch out to me with your weary Deyes
I'll sing a Csong for Gyou
CThats's what I'm here to Gdo
To Csing for Gyou
[Verse 4]
Now Gevery man he Chas his work you Gknow
And to find out mine you Cain't got far to Ggo
CCall out to me with your weary Deyes
I'll sing a Csong for Gyou
CThats's what I'm here to Gdo
To Csing for Gyou
To Csing for Gyou
