Here's the tab for Atlas as I hear it. Sounds right to me. I'd advise
fingerpicking the first verse and then strumming from the chorus and on. Enjoy!

Sometimes the wire

Caught in the fire

Some far away

Some dragon to slay

Heaven we hope 
    G#      C#m
is just up the road

well i played along with the chords to check em out... its mostly correct... just need to know the timing to bring in the chords... obviously they are not the same voicing used as the embellishments added on the piano do stand out... the chords do belong in the key of the song... ofc if you just hit all the strings and flat pic strum it or watev itll sound botched but not in the way that you make it out to be... and well how much likes it has doesnt matter man... just focus on the music please... live and let die!

This is all kinds of wrong. How can this have so many 5 star ratings? For starters, the second chord in the verse should be a G#m, the F#m* E* is also borked. I'm not even talking about subtleties like bass note changes, I'm talking about plain wrong.

Thanks for your opinion fellas but actually I just shared it with people I knew at my school... There's no need to get upset, it's just a tab... Rate how you feel and move on with your day.
