I couldn't find any chords online for this truly wonderful song by Jim and Ingrid, 
so I gave it a go. 
It's my first tab and I'm sure it's not accurate but it sounds close to right. 
Comments are more than welcome!

Em9 (022032@1)                    A4 (x02230@1)                /B
She  stood by the window and   let down her hair
C (x32010@1)          C/B (x2555x@1)       A4 (x02230@1)           A (x02220@1)

     Em9 (022032@1)                   A4 (x02230@1)            /B
That she give her body and I give my mind
