My current attempt at including more of the changes to play along with the official lyric video:

Capo 1 to play these chords with the official recordings.

Where I have listed chords with asterisks, I hammer on to the the note on fret 2.

The chords in parentheses are the beginning chord of the section that follows.

As Ed seems to be doing in several of the songs on this album, I think it sounds good to keep the pinky
rooted on fret 3 of the high E string for all of the chords.

For those interested, I have also posted a shot of my attempt to use this version of the chords:
