This gives his first chord played a weird Em/D sound.
Believe it or not, I'm pretty sure the first Em bar of the song has five beats to it (5/4,
maybe 5/8), and that the second D bar has three beats (3/4?).
This repeats for the third and fourth bars but then rights itself to 4/4 time
for the rest of the song.
