These chords are good except for the D7 which is supposed to be a F# half diminished 7th. This can easily be played after an A minor, simply just move your middle finger to the F# on the sixth string, leaving your index and ring finger in the A minor position

instead of the D7. Also, pick out the chords in their barred form. You will pick up on some of the nuances of the song this way...
You can also play this song with these chords with a capo on 4. fret. You can check out "First Aid Kit" with their cover on Youtube of this song.
