the glory of this song is not in the guitar, but in the singing along. beautiful,
song. Of course, I recommend listening to the song to make sense of this tab. Nothing
for listening to the artist.

Tuning: standard

Here are the two different progressions that occur after riff 4:
   D   A# A     D  DM7  Bm  G
e|-2---0--0---|-2---2---2---3------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|-3---3--2---|-3---2---3---0------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|-2---3--2---|-2---2---4---0------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|-0---3--2---|-0---0---4---0------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|-----0--0---|---------2---2------------------------------------------------------------| 
E|--------------------------3------------------------------------------------------------| 


NOTE: i am unsure of which type of DM7 and G he uses. it may just as easily be:
   D  DM7 Bm G
e|-2--2---2--3---------------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|-3--3---3--3---------------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|-2--2---4--4---------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|-0--0---4--5---------------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|----4---2--5---------------------------------------------------------------------| 
E|-----------3---------------------------------------------------------------------| 

in this scenario, the DM7 is a tad trickier, but sounds better, i think.
I wrote out the G as a bar chord because i can't tell from the recording which he uses,
they both work equally well.

if we can call them friends we can call them on red telephones
[1]
and they won't pretend that they're too busy or they're not alone
[2]
if we can call them friends we can call
[2]
holler at 'em down these hallowed halls
[2]
but we can't let the human factor fail to be a factor at all

[3]
don't
don't you worry
          [3]
about the atmosphere
or any sudden pressure change

          [3]
'cause I know
that it's starting
        [3]
to get warm in here
and things are
                 [3]
starting to get strange

        [3]
and did you
did you see how
         [3]
all our friends were there
drinkin' roses from the can

[3]
how
how I wish I
      [3]
I had talked to them
and wished they
             [3]
fit into my plan

      Bm   G
this land
              D
there will be tables and chairs
DM7                     Bm
pony rides and dancing bears
                   G

              D                          DM7
'cause listen after the fall there'll be no more countries
   Bm                G
no currencies at all
             D
we're gonna live on our wits
DM7
throw away survival kits
Bm                         G
trade butterfly knives for adderal
                D
and that's not all
DM7
woah!
               Bm                G
there will be snacks, there will
D      DM7 Bm  G
there will be snacks!
