Hey,

This is a very beautiful, yet straightforward song. I would like to start off
right chords:

        Am      C        D       F       E       E7
        0        0       2       1       0       0
        1        1       3       1       0       3
        2        0       2       2       1       1
        2        2       0       3       2       2
        0        3       0       0       2       2
        0        0       0       0       0       0

These are repeated in order throughout the verses. During the breaks between
verses the order goes.

        Am      C       D       Am      C       D       F       E       E7

So that's that. If you want to get the sound closer to the song, some chord
manipulation must occur. The alternations vary, and here's my best guess:

Am - Hammer on your pinky on the B string, then pull off your pinky, then
     index finger, then hammer on with your index again. Kind of like this

E|----0--------------|
B|----1h3p1-1p0h1----|
G|----2--------------|
D|----2--------------|
A|----0--------------|
E|----0--------------|

C and D - After the initial strum, pick each string of the chord

F - Pull off and hammer on your middle finger

E - After the first beat, place your pinky finger on the second fret of 
the 'G' string, then take it back off

E|----0----0----0----|
B|----0----0----0----|
G|----1----2----1----|
D|----2----2----2----|
A|----2----2----2----|
E|----0----0----0----|


Also, If you're like me, you really like that little intro riff he plays:

E|-------------------------|
B|-------------------------|
G|---------7h9p7--5h7--/9--|
D|-------------------------|
A|----0--------------------|
E|-------------------------|
