I play a couple of different chord voicings on this song depending on if
I'm playing solo/acoustic or electric with a group/another guitarist. The 
first variation is with open position chords and the second is using partial 
barre chords. I think it sounds best with one guitar playing the open 
position chords and a 2nd guitar playing the barre chords and riffs. This 
is my interpretation of the song. YMMV
Open position chord voicings:
C - X|3|2|0|1|3
D - X|X|0|2|3|2*
Em - 0|2|2|0|0|0
Am - X|0|2|2|1|0
B7 - X|2|1|2|0|2
G - 3|2|0|0|3|3
*When I play this on acoustic I use Dadd2add4/A - 5|X|4|0|3|0 instead of 
the Dmaj. I just like the sound of that chord in there for some reason. 
Also, I prefer to play the Em as a partial barre on the 7th fret as outlined
in the "Alternate" section below instead of in the open position.
This is how I play the intro/1st interlude. Alternately, you can play it 
using just the C and D chords, but on electric I like this sound better.
