Capo: 4.
This is a great song, a side note thought... this is normally played in the key of E, but I find it easier
with CAPO 4.
Listen to the song for the finger-picking pattern, or just strum if you're lazy.

C/Gand all your friends Amhave come and gone
and tGhe sun no longer Fmaj7shines

and the Groad you travel leads toFmaj7 a dead end
