The difference between ver.1 and ver.2 chords is version 1 chords
are the ones that he most likely uses in the song, but the 2nd set
are the chords that are easier and more economical to play on the
fretboard. They are absolutely the same, but using ver.2 you can't
get the slide down the neck that is produced on the record.
All other chords are standard chords, most are barred 5. OK here it is.

When everyone else is dead

On your door. Do you understand
