The vast majority of this song has a lot of repetition, so I will simply
allocate the parts with the times, referring to them as *A*, *B*, etc.
The timings are all pretty simple to figure out, so I hope you don't mind.

(0:00 – 0:41)
These chords on repeat, for quite some time.

 *A* |–––––––––|
     |–––––––––|
     |–––––––––|
     |––2–––1––|
     |–––––––––|
     |––2–––2––|

(0:42 – 0:44)
I'm fairly sure there are two chords being utilized here, same rhythm.

(1:00 – 1:02) *B*

(1:03 – 1:17) *A*

(1:18 – 1:20) *B*

(1:21 – 1:34) *A*

(1:35 – 1:43) *B*, several cycles.

(1:44 – 2:00) *C*
Watch for the time change from 4/4 to 5/4.
