the glory of this song is not in the guitar, but in the singing along. beautiful, 
song. Of course, I recommend listening to the song to make sense of this tab. Nothing 
for listening to the artist.

Tuning: standard

riff 1       D
e|---------------2-----------------------------------------------------------------|

riff 4
   D       D       A#      A       D     D       A#      A       D
e|---2-3-5---2-3-5-6-5-3-2-0-3-2-0-2-3-5-----0-2-3-2-0-----6-5------|

Here are the two different progressions that occur after riff 4:
   D   A# A     D  DM7  Bm  G
e|-2---0--0---|-2---2---2---3------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-3---3--2---|-3---2---3---0------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-2---3--2---|-2---2---4---0------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-0---3--2---|-0---0---4---0------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----0--0---|---------2---2------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------3------------------------------------------------------------|
NOTE: i am unsure of which type of DM7 and G he uses. it may just as easily be:
   D  DM7 Bm G
e|-2--2---2--3---------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-3--3---3--3---------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-2--2---4--4---------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-0--0---4--5---------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----4---2--5---------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------3---------------------------------------------------------------------|

in this scenario, the DM7 is a tad trickier, but sounds better, i think.
I wrote out the G as a bar chord because i can't tell from the recording which he uses, 
they both work equally well.

if we can call them friends we can call them on red telephones
[1]
and they won't pretend that they're too busy or they're not alone
[2]
if we can call them friends we can call
[2]
holler at 'em down these hallowed halls
[2]
but we can't let the human factor fail to be a factor at all

[3]
don't
don't you worry
          [3]
about the atmosphere
or any sudden pressure change

          [3]
'cause I know
that it's starting
        [3]
to get warm in here
and things are
                 [3]
starting to get strange

        [3]
and did you
did you see how
         [3]
all our friends were there
drinkin' roses from the can

[3]
how
how I wish I
      [3]
I had talked to them
and wished they
             [3]
fit into my plan

      Bm   G
this land
              D
there will be tables and chairs
DM7                     Bm
pony rides and dancing bears
                   G
there'll even be a band
              D                          DM7
'cause listen after the fall there'll be no more countries
   Bm                G
no currencies at all
             D
we're gonna live on our wits
DM7
throw away survival kits
Bm                         G
trade butterfly knives for adderal
                D
and that's not all
DM7
woah!
               Bm                G
there will be snacks, there will
D      DM7 Bm  G
there will be snacks!
