Attempt to capture the chords based on his performance from The Old Phone Pub

The official video is now out too:

NOTE: For the version at the Old Phone Pub, Ed played the chords in a different order for the Intro.
He played them in this order instead: Em Bm C D. I have changed my listing to include the same progression
throughout (Em D Bm C), but listed the alternate intro at the end.
To play these chord shapes along with the official video, you would need to tune down a half step.
It appears that, apart from the Old Phone version, when Ed plays this live he uses barred chord shapes
starting with D#m (sometimes possibly using D#m7) barred on fret 6 (x68876 or x68676) and hammering
on to the notes on frets 7 and 8. To use the exact chords Ed uses, transpose -1.
Other options to play this in the same key as the official track with your guitar in standard tuning:
Transpose these chords +5 (Am G Em F) and put your capo on 6
Transpose these chords +3 (Bm A F#m G) and put your capo on 4
I tried to put the chords in the best spots, but listen to the video to get a feel for the syncopation.
Chords with an asterisk indicate a single strum.
