      The song is in standard tuning, and the original has a capo on the 2nd fret.

The fingerpicking Eleanor uses is also available on the Pro tab I submitted a while ago but it is roughly
this pattern repeated throughout, altered slightly depending on the chord:

e|------------|------------|
B|----------a-|-a----------|
G|-------m----|----m-------|
D|----i-------|-------i----|
A|------------|-p--------p-|

Intro:  Em   | B7   | Em   | B7


Em               | B7
You’ll hear better songs than this,

Em             | A 
With no trace of clumsiness.
 
C          | G            | Am           | B7
Melodies and harmonies that compliment the rhyme.
 
Em                 | B7
Favourite songs that reminisce,
 

Em              | A 
Speak of times of happiness,


C             | B7            | Em  
Sentiments that make you warm inside.


Em               | B7 
You’ll hear voices pure and fine,

Em             | A  
Voices far surpassing mine,
  
C               | G             | Am           | B7
Hitting notes I’d never reach and never will I s’pose.

Em            | B7 
Phrases I could never play,
  
Em               | A 
You will hear them any day,

C              | B7            | Em  
Played by people wearing younger clothes.


    G             | D
But this song has a prayer to you,
 
   C           | Em
No other song on earth can do.
 
C                 | G
This song swears my love for you,
 
  Am             B7
Until the end of time.
 
Em              | B7
So if you need to hear the blues,

Em            | A
Go put on those other tunes,

C                | B7            | Em
But if you need my love, go put on mine.


Guitar Solo: Em   | B7   | C    | G    | C    | G    | Am   | B7
             Em   | B7   | C    | G    | C    | B7   | Em


Em               | B7 
You’ll hear better songs than this,

Em             | A   
Songs so full of loveliness.

C            | G               | Am      | B7
I would not compare this song to anyone of those.
 
Em           | B7 
When I need to play the blues,

Em              | A 
I will play those other tunes,

    C          | B7             | Em   
But I will say I love you with my own.


    G             | D
But this song has a prayer to you,
 
   C           | Em
No other song on earth can do.
 
C                 | G
This song swears my love for you,
 
  Am             B7
Until the end of time.
 
Em              | B7
So if you need to hear the blues,

Em            | A
Go put on those other tunes,

C                | B7            | Em
But if you need my love, go put on mine.



    G             | D
But this song has a prayer to you,
 
   C           | Em
No other song on earth can do.
 
C                 | G
This song swears my love for you,
 
  Am             B7
Until the end of time.
 
Em              | B7
So if you need to hear the blues,

Em            | A
Go put on those other tunes,

    C            | G   | C            | G
But if you need my love, if you need my love,

      C            | B7            | Em
Yeah, if you need my love, go put on mine.
