Here is my fingerpicking version:

---------------------------------------------------------------

 Katmandu - Cat Stevens

 From "Mona Bone Jakon"
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
 Transcribed and tabbed by Wolfgang Hammer
             (wolfgang.hammer@post.rwth-aachen.de)

 Use Capo on 3rd fret.
 The measure changes throughout the song, so I did not place
 bars. The dots on top of the lines represent eighth-notes.
