Topic: Simple Song by The Shins

Hey all! So, I found the chords on ultimate guitar for this song but i can't exactly tell if they match up with the video of James Mercer playing an acoustic  version of Simple Song.

The video is here and simple song starts at about 4:27:

The chords are here:

I'm awful at telling what chords are being played just by looking, so if anybody can help me figure out the chords from the video, I'd appreciate it very much!

DAD (etc) G,A,G,A,G,A,D,A,D,(etc) G,A,G, (etc) watch for the Bm after the word chest,  then G,A,G and D,A,D with an occasional Bm.
Whoops he slipped in a Em there, at 7:09. Listen for it.
I find this song maddeningly monotonous. Nerve wracking!

We pronounce it "Guf Coast".
Ya'll wanna go down to the Guf?
