I believe this to be more accurate than the tabs already posted (capoed to a
higher fret with different chords), but certainly not perfect (rhythms of
strumming and hammers/pulloffs).

Listen to the recording to get a more accurate strum pattern, and to line up
the hammers and pulloffs in the right spot.  I don't have my recording or my
guitar here to make sure I got it right, but I think this is close.  This 4-bar
pattern would work for the whole song.

For the last chord of the song, here is a chord that is close, but probably not
the exactly right one:

This is what I figured was the best approximation of the real song when trying to transcribe it myself. However, there seems to be some notes missing. Like on the opening chord, I can clearly hear a low "A" root note being played, but it's nearly impossible to get that while doing the hammer-ons too.

By the way, the version of the song I have is with Derri from the Choir singing with female vocals in the background (possibly Sara Groves - sounds like her). I downloaded it from the Choir's old mp3.com site... is this a pre-production track perhaps?

On the "Traveling Light" I've heard, it's Sara Groves. :?
