hi, I have been trying to grasp the chords they're playing on this one -
even though they may play different variations of the chords as seen in the video,
these go with the song very well
chords used:
E (022100@1)name="chord_x02220@1">A D (xx0232@1)name="chord_320003@1">G B (x2444x@1)name="chord_022000@1">e

** x 2 0 x x x very short
A (x02220@1) x 0 2 2 2 0

Em/G 3 2 2 0 0 0
G (320003@1) 3 2 0 0 3 3

you can either play the opening part as chords (Bm D - Em G - A F#m7 - Bm)
or you can, like myself rather strum out individual strings to substitute
for whole chords (thus skipping transitions to D, G and F#m7) - these ar
noted below as *, ** and *** - the good thing about playing it this way is
that you can pretty much leave the fingers of your left hand (for
right-handed players) in the position of the preceding chord - this makes
for a more consistent sound of the song, I feel. try it out both ways and you'll see.
Please note that I'm using Bm and Bm* which is the same chord only played
at different parts of the neck.
Bm* * Em (022000@1) ** A (x02220@1) *** Bm*
Bm* * Em (022000@1) **

You carved a boat to sell my shadow

(keep playing A and gradually increase the intensity of the sound up to where they
introduce a new set of chords)

this is pretty much most of the song, they have a bunch of guitars
so unless you have a band, this works for the background guitar.
