Here's a terrific Sparklehorse tune for you, that I can't believe hasn't been tabbed yet.
The song itself is recorded on a slightly overdriven/compressed acoustic guitar.
There are a few flourishes on the guitar, some lazy hammer-ons here and there.
They aren't hard to pick up. Make it your own, it's a beautiful song.
You can strum this out cleanly and it still sounds wonderful:

[Verse]
Em G Once I was a big old bear D Am Reigning blows on sparkly snares Em G In the woods after the snow D Am The white noise witch her hammers cold Em G Rest beneath the pine and rose G D In our suits and Sunday clothes
[Chorus]
C G C D Cheer up my brother C G C D It's gonna be al-right All the instruments cut out, save for this guitar riff: e|-----------3----------------------------------------------------------| B|-------0--------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----4---3------------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------| Am G C D I know your hearts are heavy as mountains e|-----------3----------------------------------------------------------| B|-------0--------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----4---3------------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------| Am G D We're gonna go back home one day
