This song comprises of two parts (verse and chorus), and basically one fingerstyle pattern, but a lot of
variation.
So, to play it in her style you will have to listen to it quite carefully. This is in standard tuning 1/2 step
down.
I tried to figure out the lyrics, but it's hard to understand correctly (and I am german btw).
Throughout Song, the thumb plays the bass on ONE, TWO/HALF and FOUR. The rest is played freely.

Verse:
Bmadd4 Asus4 G
you know I walk the streets of gold
Bmadd4 Asus4 G
and I can't find my baby's bones
Bmadd4 Asus4 G
it was two flus of the north
Bmadd4 Asus4 G
that take me down to my lowest home
Chorus:
D6 G*
and you don't mind where I go
D6 G*
somewhere in the wings I find my home
D6 G*
It's made of willows and tin(?)
D6 G*
and I'm returning again
Verse: (with variation)
Bmadd4 Am G
and my dreams are made of ghost skins
Bmadd4 Am G
when I wake up in my dark places
Bmadd4 Am G
and I reach for the missing faces
Bmadd4 Am G
that take me down to my favourite ride
Chorus:
D6 G
oh, I'm blossoming down
D6 G
and I stay down here

when my dreams cloud my mind
D6 G
to take me away this time
Repeat two times
