The chords are pretty standard barre chords, just very high up the neck. Sounds most like how they play it
the way I have written the chords, but play it however you want.
The G* chord I have listed is the same as the G with your pinky fretting the 19th fret.
I didn't write the whole chord because it's easier to play it with just those four strings.
I only put the * to signify that little change to the chord. It is only used in the verses.
