those are the correct chords. But if your guitar is hard to tune or already gets off tune lots, i would recommend not to go with the tuning mentioned in that tab. And just play the chords on standard tuning.
and ignore the chords chart in the begining of the tab.
i like to play the chorus like 10,12,12,10,9,0
