Notes:
Sam has his guitar in C# tuning. All chords here are therefore just shapes relative to the nut.
However if you don't want to retune, there are 2 options;
You can either play it 2 steps higher as tabbed here, or match the original key by putting
a capo on 9th fret; indicated chords will then be relative to the capo.

He also plays the chords with an open high e string, as shown here;
