Exegetic Chains
Tabbed by Jonathon McCullough

A: x022xx
C#m: x4665x
D: x577xx
E: 022100
Dsus2: xx0230
Dsus6/9: xx0450

Through most of this song John is just using three strings of each chord like so:
e|-------------|
B|-------------|
G|---2---2---2-|
D|---2---2---2-|
A|-0---0---0---|
E|-------------|etc...

Occasionally he will add in another string, like in the C#m chord or sometimes in the E or Dsus2 for effect. 
Just listen for the timing!
