----------------------------------------------3-5-------
-------------------------------------3-4-5------------
---------------------------2-----4-------------------
------------------2----4-----------------------
---------3---5--------------------------
--3---5----------------------------
The roots being on the 5th of the low E and the 2nd of the G.

That's not root position, that's the second position. "A" is always the root if you're playing in Am. But those tabs are weird. I played it on my guitar and the lower octave is a pentatonic scale while the higher octave seems to be a blues scale of sorts.
edit: Ahhhh GB beat me to it.
