Note: I think the original is played with more than one guitar
so you have to compensate for that

'oh Carissa...'
You can play the little slide on the low string each time
if you like, but it's easier to just go back to the sequence
below
C|------------------0----------------0--------------| G|------------------------------------0-------------| E|-----0h1-------0h1------0h1-------5---------------| C|----0---0-----0--------0---0-----0----------------| G|---0---------2--------0---------5-----------------| C|--0---------2--------0---------5------------------|
'when I first'
C|-----0------------0----------------------0--------| G|----0-0----------0-0------------------------------| E|---0---0--------0---0------0h1p0------0h1---------| C|--------------------------0----------0------------| G|-------------------------0----------2-------------| C|--4-----------2---------0----------2--------------|
Play the above until just before the chorus, then go up to the 5th fret
C|-------------------0--------------------------------| G|------------------0-0-------------------------------| E|-----0h1p0-------0---0------------------------------| C|----0-----------------------------------------------| G|---0------------------------------------------------| C|--0------------5------------------------------------|
'Carissa was...'
C|-----0--------0--------0---------0-------0-------0--| G|----0-0------0-0------0-0---------0-------0-------0-| E|---0---0----0---0----0---0------5-------5-------5---| C|-------------------------------0-------0-------0----| G|------------------------------5-------5-------5-----| C|--9--------7--------4--------5-------5-------5------|
'thirty five..' 'she was only my..'
C|-----0--------0--------0---------0-------0-------0--| G|----0-0------0-0------0-0---------0-------0-------0-| E|---0---0----0---0----0---0------5-------5-------5---| C|-------------------------------0-------0-------0----| G|------------------------------5-------5-------5-----| C|--9--------7--------4--------5-------5-------5------|
'second cousin..'
At the end of the chorus you only play on the 5th fret twice
C|-----0--------0--------0---------0-------0----------| G|----0-0------0-0------0-0---------0-------0---------| E|---0---0----0---0----0---0------5-------5-----------| C|-------------------------------0-------0------------| G|------------------------------5-------5-------------| C|--9--------7--------4--------5-------5--------------|
'across every sea'
You can play this section in different ways but I kept it simple
C|---0------0-----0-----0-----0------0-------0--------| G|----0------0-----0-----0-----0------0-----0-0-------| E|-----------------------------------------0---0------| C|----------------------------------------------------| G|----------------------------------------------------| C|--0-----11-----9-----7-----5------4-----0-----------| C|---0------0-----0-----0-----0------0----------------| G|----0------0-----0-----0-----0------0---------------| E|----------------------------------------------------| C|----------------------------------------------------| G|----------------------------------------------------| C|--0-----11-----9-----7-----5------4-----8-----------|
then back to the start.
any improvements welcome
