The key to this song is the capo.
This is played capoed to the 2nd fret. There may still be a few incorrect notes, but
root cords are dead on.
I'm going to refer to cords by the position you are holding your hand, not by their
name. The chord's actual name is a whole step higher.

G (A): I'm not completly sure about how he fingers this one, I just use the bass notes
let the highs ring open. I think the High E kind of throws it off though so I don't play it.

F (G): Letting the high E string ring open is what makes the cord sound so good. Don't
play it as an F bar chord. If you can figure out how to hit the 1st fret on the B and
E strings, and let the High E ring open, then do it, but from what I can hear in the
he doesn't do it, so neither do I.

burnt by the rays and next to our legs,

wet cigarettes serve us as reminders
