I just improved a version of this song that was already submitted.
It is a very long song but uses the same four chords in the same order for the whole song C#m A E G#
except for the pre-chorus, when it goes to A B E G#
I think it sounds better if you play the E chord as a bar chord in the 7th fret
as well as the A chord in the 5th fret.
If you want to play it as on the piano version here is the tab, if you just want the chords
scroll down a little bit.

All of the black bags over the heads of the dead and dying.
The same finguerpicking pattern is repeated for next verses
The more I understand about the human race, the less I comprehend about our purpose and place
and maybe if there was a clearer line the curiosity would satisfy.
Time based prophecies that kept me from living, in the moment I am struggling
to trust the divinity of all the gods and what the hell they have planned for us.
I cry for the creatures who get left behind but everything will change in a blink of an eye
and if you wish to survive, you will find the guide inside.
And after that it comes the instrumental part and then the chorus and it is harder to play it in the same way
as in the piano version.
So I would recomend you to play some different struming or finguerpicking patterns you like over the chords ;)
