Simple song but first tab so go easy, constructive criticism appreciated, childish abuse
so
Standard tuning, capo on 4th, (or if you don't have one just cut a chopstick in half and
it down to the fretboard with a shoestring or something)
Just experiment with different strumming patterns, I tried a cheeky
'D-D-U-U-D-U' and it seemed to was listenable. Just make sure you hit the high strings
the upstrokes.
For an easy little intro on the one string, see the tab below (s=slide, repeat 3 or 4
and in between verses).
Alternatively, just mess around with E and Am for an intro.

(Nothing played here) E
We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as a sur-prise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time a-go
Oh no, not me (mess around with high e string here if you like)
We never lost con-trol
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World (repeat Intro here)
I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare
At all the millions here
I must have died a-lone
A long, long time a-go
Who knows?
Not me
We never lost con-trol
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World Am
Optional; repeat the last bit
