The chords that where out there for this song seemed okay, but the voicings didn't
match up with the little hammer-ons that are in the recording.  That bothered me, so I looked
live videos of them playing the song, and I found one where I could see exactly what he 
and here's what I figured out.

Capo 2 ( Note: Chords and finger positions shown here are in relation to the capo.  The
chord names are C#, Bbm, Ab7, and F#)

Just listen to the recording to get the strum pattern, and play the hammer-ons.

B (x2444x@1)     Abm (133111@4)               F#7 (242352@1)              E (022100@1)           w/hammer-ons      w/hammer-ons       w/hammer-ons

BThey're (x2444x@1)playing our song
AbmThey're (133111@4)playing our song
F#7Can (242352@1)you see the lights?
ECan (022100@1)you hear the hum?

BOf (x2444x@1)our song
AbmI (133111@4)hope they get it right
F#7I (242352@1)hope we dance tonight
EBefore (022100@1)we, get it wrong

BAnd (x2444x@1)the seasons
Will change us new
AbmBe (133111@4)the best I've known
and you know me
F#7I (242352@1)could not be stuck on you
EIf (022100@1)it were true

B (x2444x@1)Abm (133111@4)Bb7 (x13131@1)E (022100@1)BI (x2444x@1)was swimming
My eyes were dark
        AbmTil (133111@4)you woke me
And told me that opening
F#7is (242352@1)just the start
Eit (022100@1)was

BNow (x2444x@1)I see you, til kingdom come
AbmYou're (133111@4)the one I want
                             F#7 (242352@1)            ETo (022100@1)see me for all the stupid shit I've done

(Chorus)
BSoil (x2444x@1)and six feet under
AbmKilled (133111@4)just like we were
F#7Before (242352@1)you knew you'd know me
EAnd (022100@1)you know me

BBlooming (x2444x@1)up from the ground
Abm3 (133111@4)Rounds and a sound
F#7Like (242352@1)whispering you know me
EAnd (022100@1)you know me

So this was our song
This was our song
I still see the lights
I can see them

And the criss cross
Of what is true, won't get to us
Cause you know me
I could not give up on you

And the fog of what is right
Won't cover us cause you know me
I could not give up a fight

Soil and six feet under
Killed just as we were
Before you knew you'd know me
and you know me

Blooming up from the ground
Three rounds an a sound
Whispering that you'd know me
and you know me

So I hope that's right, it sounds pretty decent to me, and it really looks like that's
he is playing in the video.  Enjoy!
