Great song, I wonder why it hasn't been posted before..
This tab has only guitar 1 (Alec Ounsworth). Guitar 2 is playing something else, which actually makes it sound like there are 4 chords in the verses instead of just D and G.
I know there are some errors and I don't think all the chords are right (e.g. the first bridge). This should get you started anyway.
I transcribed this from the performance in Conan O'Brien show 12/16/2005.
verse 1: DDGG Blue, you radiant blue I don't know how you can stand next to me You you talk like a noose and only confuse my perplexity
BmAAsus4A Now that I'm so sad and not quite right GA I could dance all night Asus4ADGDG I could dance all night
verse 2: Shake your rattle-snake skin and become a part of society Wait on down the highway to see how far I'll come a-run a-run run running All that we have salvaged from the fire was a waste of time What a waste of time
Bm, AAsus4A, G, AAsus4A
Bridge 1 (pick): Dsus2 BmajGmaj Should I trust all the rust that's on TV (should I trust all the rust that's on TV) BmajGmaj I guess with some distase I disagree (with some distase I disagree) Bmaj With quite a fashionable dispassion for the dispossessed under-stressed (aah, ooaah) Gmaj Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme (aah, aah) AmajGmaj And I don't care if you don't like or just don't see that
Verse 3: D2D2G2G2 Now that we've fattened the cow and set out to plow unknown enemies D2 "Wow!" Shouts the startled crowd "How now did you see what I did see?" BmAAsus4A The ravaged cabbage drifts on dark red skies GA And it looks so nice Asus4ADGDG Gee it looks so nice
Bridge 2 (pick): BmajGmaj Shout just let it on out confusion becomes a philosophy Down we're reaching the town where we don't have to stand around and look over our shoulders (strum:) Bm2 A2 Hell, I never knew was what we made it lets just take it slow D in this home on ice G in this home on ice D in this home on ice G in this home on-iiiieeee
