I'm an amateur guitar player and this song uses chords that I am unfamiliar with. 
I could be completely wrong about these chords, but this is what I hear when I 
listen to it and I can sing the melody over these chords and it blends beautifully.
The chords in this song are strummed using only E, A, and D strings while keeping 
the three higher strings G, B, and e muted.
