. = alternate voicing in VERSE-B
Vocals add thirds to D-chords and C-chords.
A-chords are implied minors.

While the INTRO voicings are accurate most of the rest are guesses
based on the left channel guitar part and taking into account the
numerous string scrapes produced during position shifts.
Opening chord sounds as A7sus4 as Josh plays only the lower strings.

In VERSE-B the voicings change with notes fretted on the 2nd-string.
A11 and Cmaj9 become A7sus4 and Cadd9 however the overall harmony
remains the same since the vocal adds the B-note. D6sus4 loses 6th.

CODA:
Phrasing and accents suggest two 2/4 bars:
Cmaj9        G/B   D6sus4  A11    Em7          Bm(b6)
