I would recommend using the voicings in the text
column numbers below.
Regarding the main CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS please follow
the information at the bottom of the tab.

E * = xx999x    D     = xx0232     Am   = x02210
E   = 022100    Amaj7 = x02224     Am/G = 302210
A4  = x02230    F#m11 = xx4200     D/F# = 20023x
F#m = 244222    B     = x24442     G/B  = x20033
E7  = 022130    C     = x35553     C/G  = 332010
E6  = 022120    G     = 355433     D/E  = 000232
A   = x02220    F     = 133211     D/C  = x30232

The A4 and E7 in the verses are quick passing chords

[Optional Pre-Chorus chords]
On the track the acoustic guitar goes from a D to an
A major chord twice. The chords in brackets are an
option to emulate David's saxophone progression

(Dmaj7) = xx0222  (D(b5) = xx0234  (Amaj7*) = x02120
(Dsus2) = xx0230  (D5)   = xx0235

the page and select a star rating for my tab, thanks

Starts at the [8:57] mark

For the GUITAR chord box diagrams to match my
suggested choices you need to manually select the
following choice of options by clicking on the
forward/backward arrows below eight of the diagrams.
   E7         E6        Amaj7       C          G
<7 of 47>  <2 of 59>  <2 of 39>  <3 of 17>  <4 of 27>
         D/F#        G/B          D5
     <7 of 20>    <2 of 21>    <8 of 12>
The remaining chord boxes can be the default
first option and don't need any reselecting.

For the D(b5) there is no exact matching diagram
so please follow the voicing in my chord legend.
For the F#m11 the closest diagram match is  <2 of 6>
but you don't need to play the 6th string.
Other alternatives:
F#m11 = xx4200 or x04200 or x44200
