To me it sounds like Edwin avoids the high E string 
throughout the song.  His picking or strumming appears to 
be selective with occational palm muting 
to give the performance a more driven, percussive feel.

D5 G5 Bm(#5) Asus4 

 
      D5            G5          Bm(#5)                  Asus4 
Seven million years of progress handed down on silver wings 
   D5           G5               Bm(#5)              Asus4 
Of gossamer and protein still we haven't learned a thing 
       D5               G5     Bm(#5)             Asus4 
Are we caught up in our anger, locked up in our rage 
       D5           G5       Bm(#5)             Asus4 
In the opera of selection on this our earthly stage 
 

 
    G5                 D/F#      Em7 
And Charlie's spinning laughing, laughing in his grave 
G5              D/F#          Asus4 
Laughing at the prophecy, the prophecy he gave 
       G5                    D/F#           Em7 
Can we spread our wings like angels, can we break out of the grind 
       G5             D/F#     Asus4 
Are we destined to be Darwin's children this time 

D5 G5 Bm(#5) Asus4 
 

 
    D5             G5         Bm(#5)          Asus4 
The ribbons of our cigarettes vanish in the air 
       D5                G5         Bm(#5)            Asus4 
In the glow of our great teacher we sit and blankly stare 
        D5             G5                Bm(#5)       Asus4 
And the sky could open up and what would we have to say 
          D5         G5           Bm(#5)        Asus4 
Something cute about burning out, better than fading away

    G5                 D/F#      Em7 
And Charlie's spinning laughing, laughing in his grave 
G5              D/F#          Asus4 
Laughing at the prophecy, the prophecy he gave 
       G5                    D/F#           Em7 
Can we spread our wings like angels, can we break out of the grind 
       G5             D/F#     Asus4 
Are we destined to be Darwin's children this time

       Cadd9          Bm(#5)       Asus4 
On the wings of invention now we hurdle toward our fate 
   Cadd9       Bm(#5)   D5 
As sure as the sunset burns 
    Cadd9       Bm(#5)        B 
Collective resignation, evolutionary fate 
G5    D/F#  Em7 Asus4 A D5 
When  will  we  ever    learn
