[It sounds like he uses bar chords for all of this (most obvious is the beginning and ending barred E minorEm starting
on the 7th fret of the A augmentedA string), but that is up to you, along with any other little intricacies.]
in fact these are the assumed bars he may and or does use:
E minorEm G+G C majorC BB A augmentedA maybe: B#/Ab
[--7---3---3---2---5------------1-
[--6---3---5---4---5------------3-
[--9---4---5---4---6------------3-
[--9---5---5---4---7------------3-
[--7---5---3---2---7------------1-
[-(0)--3---x---x---5------------x-
now on the B#/Ab, I personally use the standard finger placement for the A augmentedA chord when I play this song, so that
between the end of the verse and the beginning of the chorus I throw the B#/Ab in there between the BB and the A,
and do that little walk-down. I believe he does that in the song at least a time or two.
Anyway, you can definitely tell that that barred E minorEm is how the song begins and ends.
I hope this was helpful for anyone, enjoy, I love this song.
