Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Hit a B, then hammer on and pull off the 7th and 8th frets on the G string.
 For the beginning of the vocals (before the drums kick in), you can basically
 just slide up and down from A to B and back,
 hitting each chord. For the A-Bb-Bb-B part, it's the same.
 Listen to the record for timing and whatnot.
 All my friends  and my family  are  remarkable people,  they are nothing  like the
creeps  in this  town.
There is  time still ahead  of me, the last  among equals,  I am keeping  both my
ears  to the ground.
 The slide riff plays over this, but like I said, not yet tabbed.
 There is a feeling  I've  been  getting
 That I have earned  the town and state  that I am  in
 I cannot leave,  my feet will stop  me from stepping
 I'd kiss the ground  but I don't know  where it has  been
 Oh no,  there are reasons  but I can't explain
 Well I can  but not to you.
 Oh I'm  getting better  at the waiting game
 And I  don't wanna lose.
 We are the products of  circumstances
 And we reflect  the sort  of people we have  known.
 Whether by blood  or by extended  olive branches
 All these people  have determined  how we've  grown.
 And I said  very tactfully  there's a mineshaft  and a steeple  and the otherwise
 indifferent  middle ground.
All  my  friends and my family  are remarkable people,  they are nothing  like the
creeps  in this  town
 Comments-wise, be brutal but not too brutal. This is a band that I just want to
 see get more recognition, so there you go.

[Bb]The[Bb]re [B]is time still a[A]head of me, the l[B]ast among e[A]quals, I am k[B]eeping both my
[A]ears to the g[B]round.  [A]    [Bb]       [Bb]          [B]

There is a f[B]eeling I[A]'ve b[E]een getting
That I have [B]earned the town and [A]state that I [E]am in
I cannot le[B]ave, my feet will s[A]top me from s[E]tepping
I'd kiss the [B]ground but I don't k[A]now where it h[E]as been

[D]  Oh n[A]o, there are r[E]easons but I can't explain
