I think the last chord is actually an open C e---0--- B---1--- G---0--- D---2--- A---3--- E---x--- e---0--- B---1--- G---0--- D---2--- A---3--- E---3---

In the verses, after C7 we got F7, fingering 1-3-1-2-4-1 (usual F7 with high eb note on the second string). Also, there's no G7 chord before the bridge, you should just hold Am (I mean the chorus after second verse). The rest is great

Bloody well right scepter I play a barred C. 😎
