Carolina Low (ver 2) by Decemberists
The finger picking has a bit of natural variation throughout the song,
so use this as a guide, not a literal transcription.
The high notes in the D shape should be played very lightly as filler,
with main emphasis on the melody around the D string, naturally.

Finger pick around this pattern, follow the song, you should get pretty close to the recording.
