I've been looking everywhere for this song and I 
couldn't find it, so I decided to get off of my
lazy bum and do it myself.  I think it sounds good enough.

Planes Mistaken for Stars
Copper and Stars
Tabbed by: Clark
Standard Tuning

There's two guitars in this song.  
It's impossible to play it right with one guitar. 
 I'm not sure what guitar does what part, so do which ever ones you want.

:intro after silence:
guitar one
e|---------------------------------------------------------
B|---------------------------------------------------------
G|---------------------------------------------------------
D|--3-3--3-3---7-7--7-7---5-5--5-5---5-5--5-5--------------x2
A|--3-3--3-3---7-7--7-7---5-5--5-5---5-5--5-5--------------
E|--1-1--1-1---5-5--5-5---3-3--3-3---3-3--3-3--------------

harmonic part (i think guitar 2 does this)
:play these harmonics in between the breaks in the power chords above:
e|--7-7-7--5---7-7-7--5---7-7-7--5---7-7-5-7--------------
B|--7-7-7--5---7-7-7--5---7-7-7--5---7-7-5-7--------------
G|--7-7-7--5---7-7-7--5---7-7-7--5---7-7-5-7--------------- x2
D|---------------------------------------------------------
A|---------------------------------------------------------
E|---------------------------------------------------------

Ok if you listen close, theres bending/vibrato at the same time harmonics are 
played. This is as close as I came to getting it right.  Just mess with it 
a little.
(i think this is guitar one)
e|---------------------------------------------------------
B|---------------------------------------------------------
G|-4h5p4-5~~~---4h5p4-------4h5p4-5~~~----4h5p4-4-----------
D|-------------------5~~~------------------------5~~------- x2

Little solo part after intro
e|---------------------------------------------------------

G|--5/7--75--5/9--97--75--5--5/7--75--54--let-ring------
D|------------------------------------------------------5----
A|---------------------------------------------------------
E|---------------------------------------------------------
then do the repeated thingy again 

then repeat the intro with power chords & harmonics (x2) and more of 
guitar 2 doing a solo in the background.  I havent figured that out yet, sorry.

Then, we have the palm muted power chords, which are the same as in the intro.
Some slight variations.

G|---------------------------------------------------------
D|-5-5-5---3------7-7-7---5--------------------------------(x2)
A|-5-5-5---3-x12--7-7-7---5-x12----------------------------
E|-3-3-3---1------5-5-5---3--------------------------------
PM.....................................................................

then this, clean
e|---------------------------------
B|---------------------------------
G|------5-5-5-5--------------------
D|------5-5-5-5------------------
A|------3-3-3-3-------------------
E|--------------------------------

Then do the palm muted part six more times as hes singing.

"wasting wishes oooooooon".... and then this clean
e|---------------------------------------------------------
B|---------------------------------------------------------
G|--5-------7---------------------------------------------
D|--5-x14---7-x7-----------------------------------------
A|--3-------5---------------------------------------------
E|---------------------------------------------------------


when he sings "copper and starrrrrrsss", repeat intro with both guitars

when he starts "im wantin, you to, save me..."  the intro power chords stay
the same, but the harmonics/solo thing changes a little.  
I think its the same as 
the part after the little solo thing.

Then as hes singing "im breakin down" over and over do this clean
with some slight variations at times. The other guitar does something
else with distortion here but i havent made that out either.

e|---------------------------------------------------------
B|---------------------------------------------------------
G|------4-5--------------------------------------------------
D|---5------------------------------------------------------
A|---------------------------------------------------------
E|---------------------------------------------------------

The end gets a little weird, and I havent figured it out yet.  
If you havent noticed, a lot of this song is the same riff
done differently, ex.: the solo, and the vibrato part.
Im sure that the ending is some combination 
of the 4-5 on the G string and 5 on the D.
You can try and figure it out for yourself.  
Like I said, I couldn't find anyone else who did
this song yet, so I tried my best at it.
Good Luck!
