Some time ago I found this beautiful video on youtube. Today I came across it again an tried to make a tab of the accompaniment.
By the way, Dylan released a CD not long ago, you can find it here:

Unfortunately this song is not on the album.
This is his site on bandcamp where you can listen to the album:

{t:The Sun's Coming Over The Hill}
{st:Karine Polwart}
[G]Six rain-ridden [D/F#]summers and she [C/G]still had an [G]eye for me
She [C/G]kissed me each [G]evening and she [Am]told me she'd [D]die f' me
She [Em]ran off the [G]road, for [C/G]whisky and [G]irony
[C/G]She always [D]meant what she [C/G]said
So [G]{soh}I{eoh} took to [D/F#]whisky that I [C/G]I might re[G]call
The [C/G]taste of her [G]mouth on my [Am]lips and that's [D]all
And I [Em]tried the same [G]trick with a [C/G]truck, but it [G]stalled
The [C/G]engine was [D]better off [C/G]dead
{soc}
[C/G] Oh [G]oh the [C]nights are so l[G]ong
But [C/G]life is [G]longer [D]still
[C/G]Oh [G]oh the [C]nights are so [G]long
But the [G]sun's coming [D]over the [C/G]hill
{eoc}
The [G]taste never [D/F#]left me, and I [C/G]don't think it [G]will
And it [C/G]caused me to [G]supplement [Am]whisky with [D]pills
But there was [Em]something in[G]side that [C/G]I couldn't [G]kill
Be[C/G]lieve me, I [D]really did [C/G]try
Now there's [G]some say you [D/F#]get what you de[C/G]serve, but they're [G]wrong
You [C/G]get what you're [G]given, and [Am]then it's all [D]gone
And you're [Em]lucky if [G]you are suf[C/G]ficiently [G]strong
To [C/G]daily de[D]cide not to [C/G]die
{soc}
[C/G] Oh [G]oh the [C]nights are so l[G]ong
But [C/G]life is [G]longer [D]still
[C/G]Oh [G]oh the [C]nights are so [G]long
But the [G]sun's coming [D]over the [C/G]hill
{eoc}
Well I [G]can't say there's [D/F#]many things [C/G]I wouldn't [G]change
There's [C/G]better days [G]gone than [Am]those that [D]remain
But [Em]I can find [G]joy in the [C/G]sound of the [G]rain
You [C/G]have to find [D]joy where you [C/G]can
{soc}
[C/G] Oh [G]oh the [C]nights are so l[G]ong
But [C/G]life is [G]longer [D]still
[C/G]Oh [G]oh the [C]nights are so [G]long
But the [G]sun's coming [D]over the [C/G]hill
{eoc}
