Also, he does a quick transition from his A chord to his F#m chord. I looks like this:
A Abm F#m
E |----0---------0--------0----------------|
B |----0---------0--------0----------------|
G |----6---------4--------2----------------|
D |----7---------4--------2----------------|
A |----7---------x--------x----------------|
E |----5---------4--------2----------------|
When he's using the Abm as a transition chord [only strumming it once on the 4th
beat] I marked it with a star[*] to make it a little bit easier to understand. I'd hope you
can figure it out without it, but if it helps, there ya go :P
E B

End on an E if you want, I don't know if he resolves it or not though.

NOTE: You'll notice if you listen to the recording that, the first time David plays a
chord, he focuses on the bass note(s). The rest of the times he will play more of the
higher notes. Keep this in mind when you're picking this song.
Another NOTE: During the verse, it sounds like, instead of playing the top two strings
of the B chord at the 7th fret for the verse, he mutes the B string and plays an open E
string. He also sometimes does this same open string thing for the A chord of the verse.
