Here's a terrific Sparklehorse tune for you, that I can't believe hasn't been tabbed yet.
The song itself is recorded on a slightly overdriven/compressed acoustic guitar.
There are a few flourishes on the guitar, some lazy hammer-ons here and there.
They aren't hard to pick up. Make it your own, it's a beautiful song.
You can strum this out cleanly and it still sounds wonderful:

[Verse]
Em G
Once I was a big old bear
D Am
Reigning blows on sparkly snares
Em G
In the woods after the snow
D Am
The white noise witch her hammers cold
Em G
Rest beneath the pine and rose
G D
In our suits and Sunday clothes
[Chorus]
C G C D
Cheer up my brother
C G C D
It's gonna be al-right
All the instruments cut out, save for this guitar riff:
