My source is copyright, so I can't post it.  But if you chase down the
December 1993 issue of ACOUSTIC GUITAR (check out city or university 
libraries), the cover story is an interview of Richard Thompson by
Henry Kaiser, featuring a transcription of 1952VBL on pp. 50-51.

Or you can work it out for yourself.  The trick is that Thompson's
guitar is tuned to Malagasy tuning (CGDGBE) and capoed at the third
fret.  Once you get that, it is actually a much easier song to play
than it sounds.
