Let me start by saying that I have no music theory training and do everything by ear. That said, the chord names
I have used below are more symbolic - I'll do my best to name them correctly. Please feel free to send me a
message with their technical names.
Watch videos of Noah playing to get a feel for his strumming/chord changes, I did my best to be very accurate in
Chords Used:

Note 1:
Throughout the song, Noah does a lot of hammer-ons and pull-offs with the B and D strings. Especially when
he plays a C. When playing a G*, Noah almost always does so by first hammering-on the B and D strings out of a
G chord.
Note 2:
Coming out of Interlude 2 Noah exits with what I will call an Am, and does a quick jump to what I will call G**
right before moving to the C, like this (added an approximate strum pattern here to help):
