a few notes at the risk of being verbose:

i saw this song transcribed differently
on a website, with the capo on the 5th fret,
with the chords BmGDA, (and that's the way richard does it live
i believe) but i play along with the CD with no capo,
in the key of Em/G (i think that's right).
both ways sound right when played along with the CD,
but i like my way better.

just use an easy, free-picking style, listen to how richard plays,
 and you'll see what i mean.
 sorry, i don't write tab; i play by ear...
 but it's really quite simple.
 he adds a lot of hammer-ons and twiddly things in there.
really a pretty song.
comments, suggestions ?
feel free...

(remember this is just my personal interpretation of the song.
 you don't like it, go buy the sheet music. if you can find it.)

 let's    not drive away just yet
Em/addG  D       C/addG Cmaj7/addG  D
 Give   me  a     mo- ment       more
Em/addG  D                C/G     G
 to   walk through those rooms again
Em/addG D
 to     walk through that door

Em/addG   D              C   G
 if      we turn off the radio
Em/addG  D        C/addG  Cmaj7/addG D
 i've    only to    close      my    eyes
Em/addG     D           C/addG G
 and the wind in the sycamores
Em/addG   D
 will    carry me home

            G           C/addG
        the vine of my memory
            G         C/addG
        is blooming around those eaves
                 G            C/addG          Em/addG    D    C/addG
        but it's true it's a chore  to tame  wis -  ter-  ia

           Em/addG    D    C/addG
        wis -  ter-  ia


Em/addG D         C        G
 i'm   tempted to ring the bell
Em/addG D      C/addG Cmaj7/addG D
 maybe  they'd     ask   me     in
Em/addG  D     C/addG
 or maybe it's just as well
Em/addG  D
 to just let it be

Em/addG D      C        G
  remember the price we paid?
Em/addG D         C/addG Cmaj7/addG  D
 it seemed like  a  lot  back     then
Em/addG D      C/addG       G
 remember the love    we   made
Em/addG D
 the   day we moved in?

             G          C/addG
         the vine of my memory
             G         C/addG
         is blooming around those eaves
                  G           C/addG          Em/addG  D  C/addG
         but it's true it's a chore to tame  wis -  ter - ia

             Em/addG    D    C/addG
          wis -  ter-  ia

Em/addG   D


Em/addG D           C       G
 it   did need some pruning back
Em/addG D             C/addG Cmaj7 D
 and i know that it's not    my   place
Em/addG D             C/addG           G
 but   how could they just   cut  it down
Em/addG D
 and  leave not a trace?

Em/addG D         C        G
 let's not drive away just yet
Em/addG D    C/addG Cmaj7/addG  D
 give   me a mo - ment        more
Em/addG D                C         G

Em/addG D
 to    walk through that door

              G          C/addG
          the vine of my memory
                G           C/addG
          still blooms all around those eaves
                   G           C/addG           Em/addG  D   C/addG
          and it's true it's a chore to tame  wis -   te - ria
             Em/addG  D   C/addG
          wis -   te - ria
