This transcription is by no means perfect...the song seems to use G# and G#min, almost interchangably, which is hard to here at times.  Plus this song just has a lot of background stuff going on...it isn't made for "just the guitar".  But, here's the best I could do.

Opening: G# with Main Tab

G#
Keep it to a whisper, 
let me hear your blue rivers flow
my incisors are filed
I really think you are safe to let me close
any wolf in the wild, is a natural danger
               G#min
to a child so tender

G#min                        E
I want to travel every bendy line
                           C#
from your throat, to your heel
                            B    G#min (Main Tab)
I want to roll like a wheel over flowery fields
Flowery Fields

G#
Beg me please to claw
            Fmin* 
your summer salty warm grassy skin
         G#
should I ever hurt you badly
          Fmin 
take your medicine, we'll make amends
         G#
drink a vial of sadness
             Fmin
for excruciating devotion
              G#min  
and maddening notion

G#min                        E                                
I want to travel every bendy line
                          C#       
from your throat to your heel (soul?)
                            B    G#min   E                 
I want to roll like a wheel over flowery fields
B         E          G#min
Flowery Fields Over you....

Interlude/Solo/Carolyn Colbert Showcase (the solo's soft and intermittent, kind of hard to pin down):

G#min  C#  G#min  C#
(Carolyn Colbert Comes in)...G#min  E  C#..ect.

Closing (Main Riff):
G#min    B      E   G#min
Flowery Fields

Chords:
G#:    	466xxx
G#min:	x664xx
E:  		7799xx
C#:		4466xx
B:		2244xx
Fmin:		x331xx

You can interchange the B with a 7998xx and the C# 9/11/11/10/xx

*=the guitar/bass during the second verse sticks with striking a G#  until the G#min, yet, the cello's movement plays a Fmin...of course, there is a G#/Ab in an Fmin.

Please fix any mistakes and such.
