Here is a complete transcription of the guitar part of the whole album
been done and are at Nevada).
Bear in mind that this is just what I hear/play - feel free to disagree.
I would love to hear any corrections you have, etc.  I've worked from
the original version, not the live version in "The Thieving Magpie" -
there are some differences.
PSEUDO SILK KIMONO
No guitar that I can make out, but here are some chords if you want
to give it a go...
 Bm                         G                           Bm
"Huddled in the safety of a pseudo silk kimono, wearing bracelets..."
 A           G
"Cruel joke, cruel joke..."
KAYLEIGH
This has been superbly transcribed by Shane P Faulkner, and is at
Nevada, so I'm not going to repeat it here.
LAVENDER
This has also been done, again by Shane, and is also at Nevada.
BITTER SUITE
i) BRIEF ENCOUNTER

...Keyboard chords during words "A spider wanders aimlessly..."
ii) LOST WEEKEND
Keyboard continues during lyrics "A train sleeps in a siding...", then
guitar solo:

iii) BLUE ANGEL
Repeat several times...

... then play the last three lines of Lost Weekend again, with minor
variations.
iv) MISPLACED RENDEZVOUS
Capo at the 5th fret - fret numbers are relative to the 5th fret.

"This time it seems to be..." (x2)
                           Em             [2nd time]

thumb

v) WINDSWEPT THUMB
This is played on a keyboard (I don't think the guitar plays in this bit)
though it sounds fine on a guitar if you're careful to let the notes ring
out fully.  Note it's played an octave higher that this for the verses on
the keyboard.
Intro, and three verses (x4)

thumb

HEART OF LOTHIAN
i) WIDE BOY
Intro, repeat several times, add overdrive after a few...

thumb

"Wide boys..." (x6)

thumb

"These hearts of Lothian..." (slower)

thumb

Repeat section between || for several verses - there are some variations
                            "It's six o'clock in the tower blocks..."

thumb

ii) CURTAIN CALL
No guitar that I can make out.
WATERHOLE (EXPRESS BONGO)
Intro. (I think it's played on the keyboard actually)

thumb

Verses (x2)

   1. "When taxis gather..."
   2. "And the patter merchants..."

   "So when you think it's time to go..."

Chorus - repeat slides a few times

LORDS OF THE BACKSTAGE

Chorus - repeat slides a few times

Intro 4xA
Then, 8xA, 2xB, 2xC, 4xA, 2xB, 2xC, 8xA, 2xB, 2xC, 4xA, 2xB, 2xC (!)
BLIND CURVE
i) VOCAL UNDER A BLOODLIGHT

Chorus - repeat slides a few times

ii) PASSING STRANGERS

Chorus - repeat slides a few times

Solo...
Engage panic circuits!
I have used XXX to indicate "pluck wildly at the same note for a while".
Not sure about the first chord!  Parts of this are completely wild.  I
love it, but I can't play it very well, or hear it!  Here's my best shot,
but I'm sure I've left several notes out in parts!

Chorus - repeat slides a few times

iii) MYLO
   Repeat for the duration.

Chorus - repeat slides a few times

iv) PERIMETER WALK

Chorus - repeat slides a few times

   (x2)

  For the duration of the words:
  (I think this is actually on the keyboard...)

Chorus - repeat slides a few times

v) THRESHOLD
Intro, and twice per verse:  (with minor variations)
"I saw a war widow..."

Chorus - repeat slides a few times

Ending (x4):

Chorus - repeat slides a few times

CHILDHOODS END?
Need a good bit of delay here, as for Kayleigh.  I guess the delay
parameters remain the same for the whole album, it's just switched on
and off as required.
Repeat for intro and verse:

Chorus - repeat slides a few times

Repeat chords for chorus:
(almost the same chords as the Kayleigh chorus!)

Chorus - repeat slides a few times

Solo between verses:

Chorus - repeat slides a few times

WHITE FEATHER
Okay, this has already been done by Dan Newcombe (it's at Nevada),
but to me it sounds a little different, so I've included my own
version.  The effects used make it really difficult to hear - I guess
everyone hears it differently!  But anyway...

Chorus - repeat slides a few times

To me it sounds like Steve plays pretty much the same throughout the
song, but replaces some of the fiddly bits with equivalent chords and
strums them a few times during the verses...?
Towards the end, there is a bit of a solo based around these notes.
And that's it!
