There are some other chord progressions for this song out there..but they're way off and the reason is..the song isn't in standard tuning. It's actually in C tuning..I think that's what it's called.
The notes for each string are C, F, Bb, Eb, G, C in order from EAD to GBe.
The D chord played in this song actually looks like the C chord higher up. Both this chord and the C chord are played with an extra low note. They look like this; C: 332010 and D: 554030
The rest of the chords are played normally, but he uses hammer-ons and pull-offs throughout the song with the chords.
