This is a beautiful song, and you can hear it for comparison here:

i am pretty sure that if these chords aren't totally correct then they do at
least sound so close that it doesn't matter (so long as you play them as
they're notated below). Similarly the lyrics are kind of hard to make out, so
a couple of lines might be nonsense. sorry about that.
Enjoy the song.

(alternatively, there's a riff with this bit, for which you play two bars of
waltz time, but then one of 2/4. it's a bit tricky, basically it's as if
you're still in waltz time, but the 'missing' third beat is actually the
first of the next bar. listen to the recording. it goes like this: )
