This is the solo acoustic version of the Opening Act of Spring.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-xycD0xxG8 see here.
For the studio acoustic version, (and I believe the full band version) you'll want a capo on 2nd fret.
I hope it's clear enough, it's my first tab

G C/G G
Oh the birds are ringing in the opening act of spring
Em Am C/G-D-G
And I have fallen down and I'm so much worse than I have ever been
G C/G G
Oh the season's acting strange and I know that something has to change
Em Am C/G-D-G
But there is no path I can choose that will not bring somebody pain
[chorus]
D/F# D/E D/F# G Am G D/F#
Oh oh oh-oh oh Please forgive me for the things that I must do
D/F# D/E D/F# G Am G D/F#
Oh oh oh-oh oh I have hurt so many people it was never my intention to hurt you

G C/G G
Oh the clouds have gathered thick and in my stomach I feel sick
Em Am C/G-D-G
And I have all this drive and no idea what I should do with it
G C/G G
But they say there is a calm after the passing of the storm
Em Am C/G-D-G
So I can dream of going back outside when the rain and thunder's done
[chorus]
D/F# D/E D/F# G Am G D/F#
Oh oh oh-oh oh Please forgive me for the things that I must do
D/F# D/E D/F# G Am G D/F#
Oh oh oh-oh oh I have hurt so many people it was never my intention to hurt you

G D
And you know the old folks say, they can tell which way the rivers flowing
Am C/G
Tell which way the wind is blow—ing, by watching careful for the...
G Am
Signs among the little things: The barking dogs, the birds on wing
G D
And I am deaf and blind and I can't say if I can change
Am C/G
the patterns that have caused you pain, for I was raised in suburbs
G Am
Sheltered from the sun and rain far away from subtle season's change

G C/G G
Oh baby I will read about the buzzing of the bees
Em Am C/G-D-G
About the grass and snakes and spawning lakes and the different types of trees
G C/G G
And I will find a way that leads from cruel April into May
Em Am C/G-D-G
And someday soon it will be June and you'll decide to stay
[chorus]
D/F# D/E D/F# G Am G D/F#
Oh oh oh-oh oh please forgive me for the things that I have done
D/F# D/E D/F# G Am G
Oh oh oh-oh oh I will carry your umbrella in the summer
D/F#
And I'll shade you from the sun
