xThe tabs that I've seen for this are way oversimplified. First of all, the song is in
D tuning and the low D string is hit during the first bass run. Also, if you listen
you can hear the high e string the entire time except during the bass runs. The song is
of 3 chords, D, C, and B/G. The chords are played as listed below.

E|-----2-2-----2-2----2-2-----2-2----|

Don't try to pick hard at the e and B strings, but strike them with a very light strum.
song requires some touch.
There is a bass run during the G of the bridge and several during chorus. The open D
is the start of the next D chord.
E|-----3-3----3-3----3-3------------|
B|-----3-3----3-3----3-3------------|
G|-----0-0----0-0----0-0------------|

Chorus bass goes something like this before going back into the C chord.

There are stars

In the southern sky

Southward as you go

There is moonlight

And moss in the trees

Down the seven bridges road

Now I have loved you like a baby

Like some lonesome child

And I have loved you in a tame way

And I have loved you wild

Sometimes there's a part of me
C D
Has to turn form here and go

Running like a child from these warm stars
D C G D
Down the seven bridges road
