Alternative, maybe easier, version:
  • Transpose the chords 4 half steps down [ -4 ]
  • Put a capo on fret 4 to stay in the same key

Transcribed from the live shows. The timing for the strumming in this song is very difficult, he tends to not follow a specific beat. Play around with it, and feel free to improvise.
