You will find the backup track of it for practicing at the Strum Machine web site. On the homepage, just select the "Play another song" link and choose Wayfaring Stranger and see how it goes. Slow it down as desired. strummachine.com/ The chords are fairly easy. The F may require a bit of practice, but still doable. Here's a link for common chord charts that has easy fingering for the required chords in G tuning. bluesageband.com/Tab%20...Chords.pdf I hope this is interesting to you.
