Transcontinental

This is a hybrid tab concocted from a few live versions (so if you want to play 
along with the album, drop down a whole step). 
There's a few variations in the way he plays this. 
As a duo or band there's more power/muted chords. 
When he's solo, the chords are more open. 
This frankenstein tab is bits of both. Lots of chord changes, so rate this as intermediate.  

D/B = 7x077x
D/A = x0077x or 5x077x
G = 3x003x on the chorus. On the verse go barred like a brute cake. 
A/7sus4 = x02030
Bbdim = x1232x
G/F# = 255xxx

D          Bm         F#m               G             A#
  Engine severs lower legs, I feel my bruised heart beating – 
D        Bm               F#m                  G     A#        
  Spinal cord  remains in tact, still sending and receiving – 
D/B       D/A              G                     D
   Laying back on shoulder blades, cargo rushing past
D/B         D/A               G                     A/7sus4 
   Missing limbs beneath the cars, twitching on the tracks 
D/F#        G          E   A     Bbdim       D/B      G                
    Click clack, now handicapped, north am transcontinental – 

D        Bm          F#m   GAA#C

D      Bm          A – Asus7 – A            G          A#    
  I remember as I bleed,           certain tales of bravery – 
D              Bm                 F#m              G   A#
  A man who's legs were crushed beneath, a fallen evergreen tree 
D/B      D/A             G                       D
    He decided he would chop them off above the knee 
D/B         D/A                G                     A7sus4
   To sacrifice his shins and feet, to make his torso free 
Em        Bm              G             F#m       F
   The luxury of having been spared the hard part – 
Em                   Bm            G                A – Asus7 – A 
   You'd think would be enough for me to pull this off
D/F#           G        E       A      Bdim
      But I'm left to bleed to death – Now
D/B       D/A       G   G/F#        
  all the man I've ever been – 
      Em        A         A#CD
North am transcontinental.
