My first posting, so all corrections gratefully received, thanks!

This is a good one for all novice Townes fans out there (like me).

I find it easiest to use the thumb on the bass (generally) and strum the rest with first 
or second fingers.

The bass line is something like this:

C (x32010@1)             G (320003@1) F (133211@1)     C (x32010@1) F (133211@1) G (320003@1)     F (133211@1)    C (x32010@1) F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) F (133211@1) Ce|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| (x32010@1)B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

C (x32010@1)      FCome (133211@1)tomorrow

C (x32010@1)Well, it's strange how many tortured mornings
Fell upon us with no warning
Lookin' for a smile to beg and borrow
It's over now, there is no returning
A thousand bridges sadly burning
And light the way I have to walk alone
Come tomorrow

I guess that no amount of lying
To myself will stop the crying
I guess I have to take things like they are
The facts are plain to see, it's only
That I ain't used to being lonely
Like I'm gonna be without you
Come tomorrow

Come tomorrow
