He plays the Cmaj7 like this (x35500, sort of like a power chord), 
but you can play it even easier (x32000), sounds close enough. 
Dsus2 is just a regular open D chord with the top string open (xx0230).  
In the end solo he plays the chords by moving the Cmaj7 power chord shape up the neck. 
So Dsus2add13 looks like this (x57700), E5 is (x79900) and G6 is (x 10 12 12 0 0). 
As per suggestion, you can tune your bottom E string down to C to get that low end
on the C chord. Then you'll have to mute the bottom E string when playing the Em chord
or play it like (422000) or (4x2000).
The intro and the majority of the song just alternates between Cmaj7 and Dsus2.
Cmaj7   Dsus2
On tour
Lord of the flies
Aw, hey, who cares?
What's a guitar?
Watch out for this one
He'll stab you in the back for fun
I'm just playin'
I know you, man,
Most of the time
Watch out for this one
He'll pump you full o' lead for turnin' your head wrong

AmI wanna sing at the Emtop of my lungs
Cmaj7For fun, Dsus2screaming annoyingly
'Cause that's just me
Cmaj7   Dsus2
Being me, being free
Watch out for this one
He'll pump you full o' lead for turnin' your head wrong
I would know
'Cause I can see through him and them
On tour
Lord of the flies
I'm just playin'
I got it made
Most of the time
