These chords work great with me. I normally pick them like it's done
in the song but you could strum them too, I guess.

mayrabeat C am7 Em G is the correct progression. I have the score! Also the Em-ish chord is an Em+5 (like the Em7 is an Em plus the 7th, this is an Em plus the 5th) The C is x32013 The G is 320033 The Cma7 is 332000 The Em at the end of the Am7 Am6 Em7 Em6 Em5 Em is played 022000 If you're picking it, the pattern is: E = eighth note S = sixteenth note e s s s s e e s s s s e e x---------------x--------------- B ----------x---------------x----- G ------x---------------x--------- D ----x-------x-------x-------x--- A x---------------x--------------- E --------x---------------x------- 1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a When picking: 1 - instead of A7 play A - 577655 2 - the C chord is 332013 but it's easier to just move your 3rd finger down to the 6th string, 3rd fret when you need to hit that bass note
