Chords
The intro tab should be very close to what he plays. Let the notes ring and listen to the recording
to get a feel for some of the rhythms that aren't straight sixteenth notes.
Note that he appears to avoid the high E string when he is picking his F chords so when you watch him play
this one, where I have indicated Fsus2 and F he places his fingers as if he were playing Fmaj7sus2 and Fmaj7.
The C chords in parentheses indicate that they are also the starting chord of the instrumental section that
follows.
I used his live version fromt he Sometimes It's Something, Sometimes It's Nothing At All live stream to
from the live stream as well:

This song starts at 14:10 in the live stream and he doesn't play all of of the G to Gsus4 hammer ons, opting
to just go to the Gsus4 in some cases. He also appears to end the live stream version on a variation of the
C chord (x35050).

[Verse 1]
C G Am7 G Gsus4 There's a place I go Fsus2 C G Where the lights hang low Em Am7 The walls are stale from a thousand Marlborough lights D7 G Gsus4 G And the carpet tells a tale of a thousand Friday nights
[Verse 2]
C G Am7 G Gsus4 There's a man outside Fsus2 C G Big black holes for eyes Em Am Biting down on burnt out cigars D7 G Gsus4 G Plays forgotten songs on broken guitars

C G Am7 G Gsus4 There's a place I've found Fsus2 C G On the edge of town Em Am7 Where all the girls dress in angelic white D7 G But age is so unkind under fluorescent lights
[Verse 4]
C G Am7 G Gsus4 And there's a man by the door Fsus2 C G Neatly stitched to the floor Em Am He's sat there for a thousand years D7 G Gsus4 G And he'll sit there for a thousand more
[Chorus 2]
