https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fu2s-_4-TDo  This is the live version of the song I figured it out from.
In the live version he uses the capo on the 4th fret and not the 3rd fret but in the recorded version he uses
the capo on the 3rd fret.
***
This song only has two chords in it from what I can tell, there may be some subtle guitar noodling while
playing the chords but these are the two root chords (don't know if these are the correct names but they are
the correct shapes)
 
  C/G           Em7
E|-0-|        E|-0-|
B|-1-|        B|-3-|
G|-0-|  and   G|-0-|
D|-2-|        D|-2-|
A|-3-|        A|-2-|
E|-3-|        E|-0-|

I suggest the second chord is just Em, fretted -0-
