So here it is.. the picking pattern is simplified but works just fine if you're flying solo.
They use two guitars in the real song so it's a little weird to replicate.
If anyone has tabs for the two combined, definitely post them!

PS- Mix this pattern with a little strumming, it'll sound great

Capo III

(Am)No need to (G)get (F)overalarmed(C)
(Am)I'm (G)coming home (C)

I wonder which sibling is better
which one our parents loved the most
I sure did get in lots of trouble
They seemed to let the other go
A tear fell from my fathers eye
I wondered what my dad would say
(Am)He'd say I (G)love you and I'm (F)proud of you (C)both
In so (Am)many (G)different ways(C)

If I get murdered in the city
Go read the letter in my desk
Don't bother with all my belongings
But pay attention to the list
Make sure my sister knows I loved her
Make sure my mother knows the same

(Am)Always remem(G)ber there was (F)nothing worth (C)sharing
like the (Am)love that let us (G)share our name(C)
