Chords relative to Capo on 4
The chords are strange. They are as far as I understand:
  Bm                           F#
        Asus4add9    C#m7b9    
e-(0)-       -x-        -x-      -2-|
b--3--       -3-        -3-      -2-|
g--4--       -4-        -4-      -3-|
d--4--       -2-        -2-      -4-|
a--2--       -0-        -4-      -4-|
E--x--       -x-        -x-      -2-|
For the verse. And:
   Bm         G          D        F#
e-(0)-       -3-        -2-      -2-|
b--3--       -3-        -3-      -2-|
g--4--       -0-        -2-      -3-|
d--4--       -0-        -0-      -4-|
a--2--       -2-        -x-      -4-|
E--x--       -3-        -x-      -2-|
For the chorus. I will call the modified A and C#, A* and C#* just to save me typing 
None of this is based on me figuring anything out. I just put to a tab what TecumsehBand 
in this video:

I didn't post the finger picking pattern because honestly i don't know it. You'd have to 
to Tecumseh about it. Strumming the chords is enough for me. Thanks to Tecumseh.

Bm         A           C#
           *           *
I traveled though the atmosphere
Bm         A           C#
           *           *
as a wall of feedback climbed
Bm         C#       Bm    C#
           *              *
The pegs were gold, the band was old,
F#            Bm         A           C#
                         *           *
they played in half time
Bm         A           C#
           *           *
Now every dream gets whittled down
Bm         A           C#
           *           *
just like every fool gets wise
Bm         C#       Bm    C#
           *              *
You will never reap of any seed

deprived of sunlight
Bm         A           C#
           *           *     X2
G                   Bm
So I have become the Middleman
G                   Bm
The gray areas are mine
D   G          F#     Bm
The in-between, the absentee
F#           Bm         A           C#
                        *           *
Is a beautiful disguise
Bm         A           C#
           *           *
So I keep my footlights shining bright
Bm         A           C#
           *           *
just like I keep my exits wide
Bm         C#       Bm    C#
           *              *
'Cause I never know when it's time to go,
F#          Bm         A           C#
                       *           *
it's too crowded now inside
Bm         A           C#
           *           *
The dead can hide beneath the ground
Bm         A           C#
           *           *
and the birds can always fly
Bm         C#       Bm    C#
           *              *
But the rest of us do what we must
F#
in constant compromise
Bm         A           C#
           *           *   X2
G                   Bm
So I have become the Middleman
G                   Bm
The gray areas are fine
D   G          F#     Bm
The "I don't know," the "maybe so"
F#
Is the only real
F#
Is the only true
F#
Is the only real
Bm         A           C#
