Nancy Blake's cello mostly serves to add depth to Jack's guitar, so I have tabbed only Mandolin and Guitar parts.

VERSE 1:
B6 A6 E B6 A6 E (Mandolin: D6 C6 B6)
Walkin' home to you
D6 C6 B6 D6 C6 B6 (Mandolin: Unison)
Walkin' home to you
D6 C#6 C6 B6
I'm talkin' through my wounds that are bleedin' out for you
D6 C6 B6 B6 A6 E
Talkin' through my wounds, walkin' home to you
VERSE 2:
I listen when I can
I listen when I can
To this picture of you I carry in my hand
It lets me hear you say you're never far away

And the dirt beneath my heels in the road
A C G A
Obeys commands from me and serves me as I go
C G A
And though it helps me know you're never far away
D E
I can't help wondering how you might feel about me today
VERSE 3:
Ada, let me know
Ada, let me know
Will you want me back or is it better if I go?
Will you want me back? Ada, let me know
VERSE 4:
That Carolina wind
Carolina wind
It blows in my eyes and makes me realize
The trouble that I'm in, Carolina Wind
CHORUS
INTRO (Mandolin follows Guitar)
VERSE 5:
You'll see me in a dream
You'll see me in a dream
You'll see me in a dream across a melting stream
And you will hear me say, "You're never far away"
You're never far away
Never far away
