Tab for vocals is almost always harder to write than tab for instrumental since the songs are not as regular. Here is something to get you started.
The first two lines are the intro and the melody played behind the verse. The fingering may seem unusual since the measures with the A chord shows the notes played on the 2nd string rather than the open 1st string. This hammer-on and pull-off avoids the drop thumb and sets up the pull-off on the 3rd string at the end on line 1. But you may prefer to use drop thumb.
The chorus section actually shows two parts since that is the way the chorus seemed to me. Maybe one section is a bridge of some sort. I think the banjo play largely strums here or plays bum-ditty (as he does in some of the verses). I thought you might be mostly interested in the opening banjo section anyway, so I just tabbed out the chording that the banjo player seems to do. You should feel free to adjust the arrangement to suit your taste, skills and ear.
