Fingerpicked intro in dropped d tuning and capo on 2nd fret:
e|---------------------|
B|------3----3---3-----|
G|---------2-----------|
D|---0---0----0---0----|
A|-----0----3---2------|
D|-0-------------------|X4

The dropped D tuning is pretty much just necessary for the fingerpick intro, and the
way to play the rest of the rhythm part of the song is with the following chords and a capo
the 4th fret in standard tuning..

G/C: 320013
Cmaj7:032000

If you'd like to spend the afternoon approaching lavender
       Fm                 C
You'll feel just fine but one thing's sure
                    G/C
You'll never be the same

C                Cmaj7            C7            F
If you'd like to try your hand at understanding lavender
Fm               C
Then you must be very sure
                   G/C
That life is not a game

C              Cmaj7            C7              F
You might even learn a thing or two approaching lavender
       Fm           C
You'll soon be on a one night tour
                    G/C
Forgetting your own name

Same chords throughout...
