                      (G)

^^ i noticed the guitar playing the A and D strings together sometimes, 
but I haven't really noticed a pattern during the arpeggio.
just listen for what happens in the song. 


G
I built me a raft
Out of the trees

Picked the tallest ones / the ones that grew up with me:

e|-------------3-2----xxxxxxxx--|
B|00-5-3-1-111-1-x----00000000--| 
G|00-x-x-x-000-0-0----00000000--| it's hard to tab out the rhythm here, 
D|22-2-2-2-222-2-2-x2-00000000--| just listen for it.
A|33-3-3-3-333-3-3----22222222--|    
E|--------------------33333333--|

another way you can play the C chord with the notes on the E string is by
playing the C as a barre chord and playing the E notes on the B string,
that actually sounds a little better. I just prefer this for my own comfort.

G
I tied my raft
With the tallest vines


Picked the strongest ones / ones I haven't yet squeezed dry:

e|-------------3-2----xxxxxxxx--|
B|00-5-3-1-111-1-x----00000000--| 
G|00-x-x-x-000-0-0----00000000--|
D|22-2-2-2-222-2-2-x2-00000000--| 
A|33-3-3-3-333-3-3----22222222--|    
E|--------------------33333333--|

Play the intro through.

G
Safely floating away
My lantern dim


With a wick I didn't light / I never even asked for light:

e|-------------3-2----xxxxxxxx--|
B|00-5-3-1-111-1-x----00000000--| 
G|00-x-x-x-000-0-0----00000000--|
D|22-2-2-2-222-2-2-x2-00000000--| 
A|33-3-3-3-333-3-3----22222222--|    
E|--------------------33333333--|

G
Serenading the sky
Under an audience of seagulls

This blue sky
Will I ever attain
This blue sky
Will I ever attain it
This blue sky
Will I ever attain you:

e|-------------3-2-|
B|00-5-3-1-111-1-x-|
G|00-x-x-x-000-0-0-|
D|22-2-2-2-222-2-2-| over and over until:
A|33-3-3-3-333-3-3-|  
E|-----------------|

      G
Blue sky

The end! A beautiful track that's pretty fun and simple to play.
