Here is "The Stakes Are High" by Ezra Furman and the Harpoons.

This is the bare bones version of it.  Ezra throws in some stuff that I can't
figure out how to do.  But this will get you through the song.  The one flair 
that I was able to pick up on is, he occasionally uses an alternate fingering 
for a Bm.  It's essentially just the Am formation in the Bm position, but it 
sounds good.  So throw that in for effect.  Have fun.



Alternate fingering for Bm is used occasionally it is
e (022000@1)2
B (x2444x@1)3
G (320003@1)4
D (xx0232@1)4
A (x02220@1)x
E (022100@1)x
