As with all Mason I'm familiar with, all strings are dropped one half step.  In
addition, drop the 6th string another step like drop D tuning.  You'll end up with
C#/G#/C#/F#/A#/D#.  Finally, capo on 2nd fret.
The D and E minor chords use all six strings, striking 6th string first as a base note
and then striking the higher note strings in a sort of down down up up down up pattern
where the first two down strikes are the base note.   When you play the E minor chord, 
add your index finger to the second fret of the 6th string to round it out since you're in
drop D.
I think there's also a little flourish of some sort on the D chords in the chorus, but I
can't figure out what it is.  Listen to the song and let me know if you get it.  This
is my first tab, so any feedback is appreciated.  All the best!
DI met a man who was not quite an old man
Amaj7Said he was an old boy
DI would make a toast to believe and bet you
Amaj7That I would be the same old man
DNot the kind with a lost soul
Amaj7Who can't put down his toys
DHoney there'll be absolute peace in my heart
Amaj7And resolution in my soul
EmSo don't, donA't, darlin' Ddon't be surprised
EmWhen I doAn't leave Dyour side
Em'Cause there's not a single part of my love
That Ayou shDould not believe
EmI hope when I grow old
AThat you gDrow old with me
DI begged the pardon of the fullness of somebodies
Amaj7Because I love the left lane
DAnd I begged the pardon of the mass media
Amaj7You know on Sundays I don't go to mass
DAnd I tipped my hat to your dog in your yard by your
Amaj7house, I'm waiting for a hurricane
DTo blow, blow, blow from the west to the east and tell me
Amaj7who's goDnna be here last
EmSo don't, donA't, darlin' Ddon't be surprised
EmWhen I doAn't leave Dyour side
Em'Cause there's not a single part of my love
That Ayou shDould not believe
EmI hope when I grow old
AThat you gDrow old with me
EmI hope when I grow old
AThat you gDrow old with me
EmI hope when I grow old
AThat you gDrow old with me

Amaj7

As with all Mason I'm familiar with, all strings are dropped one half step. In

addition, drop the 6th string another step like drop D tuning. You'll end up with

C#/G#/C#/F#/A#/D#. Finally, capo on 2nd fret.

The D and E minor chords use all six strings, striking 6th string first as a base note

and then striking the higher note strings in a sort of down down up up down up pattern

where the first two down strikes are the base note. When you play the E minor chord,

add your index finger to the second fret of the 6th string to round it out since you're in

drop D.

I think there's also a little flourish of some sort on the D chords in the chorus, but I

can't figure out what it is. Listen to the song and let me know if you get it. This

is my first tab, so any feedback is appreciated. All the best!
