Chords relative to Capo on 4

The chords are strange. They are as far as I understand:

  Bm (x24432@1)    Asus4add9    C#m7b9    F# (244322@1)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 (x24432@1)       G (320003@1)        D (xx0232@1)      F# (244322@1)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.


Intro:

Bm (x24432@1)A* C#*    X8

Bm (x24432@1)   C#*      Bm (x24432@1)    C#*   F# (244322@1)Bm (x24432@1)A* C#*    X2

Bm (x24432@1)         A*           C#*
I traveled though the atmosphere

Bm (x24432@1)         A*           C#*
as a wall of feedback climbed

Bm (x24432@1)         C#*        Bm (x24432@1)    C#*
The pegs were gold, the band was old,

F# (244322@1)            Bm (x24432@1)         A*           C#*
they played in half time


Bm (x24432@1)         A*           C#*
Now every dream gets whittled down

Bm (x24432@1)         A*           C#*
just like every fool gets wise

Bm (x24432@1)         C#*        Bm (x24432@1)    C#*
You will never reap of any seed

F#deprived (244322@1)of sunlight


Bm (x24432@1)         A*           C#*     X2

G (320003@1)                 BmSo (x24432@1)I have become the Middleman

G (320003@1)                 BmThe (x24432@1)gray areas are mine

D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1)        F# (244322@1)   BmThe (x24432@1)in-between, the absentee

F# (244322@1)           Bm (x24432@1)         A*           C#*
Is a beautiful disguise

Bm (x24432@1)         A*           C#*
So I keep my footlights shining bright

Bm (x24432@1)         A*           C#*
just like I keep my exits wide

Bm (x24432@1)         C#*        Bm (x24432@1)    C#*
'Cause I never know when it's time to go,

F# (244322@1)          Bm (x24432@1)         A*           C#*
it's too crowded now inside

Bm (x24432@1)         A*           C#*
The dead can hide beneath the ground

Bm (x24432@1)         A*           C#*
and the birds can always fly

Bm (x24432@1)         C#*        Bm (x24432@1)    C#*
But the rest of us do what we must

F#in (244322@1)constant compromise

Bm (x24432@1)         A*           C#*   X2

G (320003@1)                 BmSo (x24432@1)I have become the Middleman

G (320003@1)                 BmThe (x24432@1)gray areas are fine

D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1)        F# (244322@1)   BmThe (x24432@1)"I don't know," the "maybe so"

F#Is (244322@1)the only real

F#Is (244322@1)the only true

F#Is (244322@1)the only real

Bm (x24432@1)         A*           C#*
