The chorus is a little iffy. There's definitely a Gmaj7 chord through most of it, with 
the bass line moving underneath.
Use this phrasing: 3x443x to free up a lot of movement in your index finger, making the 
bassline easier to play.
It ends with G/A, but there's a similar chord before it that I can't suss out.
