I can't get (or tab) this 100%, but this is how I play the intro/verses. Think about the chord shapes and 
finger pick

G          F#/D  Em  D   C       D           G  
Oh Gillian,               you're up with the sun
           F#/D     Em      D      C      D         G           
And you've done one hundred things before half past nine
        G    F#/D  Em    D   C     D      G
By the time  most  folk        are up and gone
G  F#/D       Em      D      C    D      G          
   You'll be starting on one hundred and one

C                  G            D        G 
There's not enough hours in the day
C             G                 D       G     
To do all the things that she's got to do
          C        D   
When the daylight fades
         G    F#/D  Em   D
And the night invades
C           D     G 
She's only just begun

Weary as you lay at night waiting for the sun
Planning out tomorrow now before this day is done
Gillian you work too hard
But don't try and slow her down  She'll tell you
idleness is good for none, work's how I get my fun
Idleness is good for none, work's how I get things done


Gillian, you're the one, you're the one
Shining in my life, you're my eternal sun
I'm trying to thank you now
For what I've become
But I've only just begun

Your influence has been profound and I'm proud to be your son
Your blood is my blood
We are forever bound
You're the inspiration to the way I live my life, I'm singing
Gillian, if you weren't my mother
I would make you my wife... etc

END SOLO - (maybe one day I'll get to it)
