CHORDS

E-A-D-G-B-e
G/A x-0-5-4-3-x As CPWKruger pointed out in the comments,
A* x-0-7-6-5-0 the G in the verses sounds good as a Gmaj7
A#dim7 x-1-2-0-2-0 (3-x-0-0-0-2) and the Gm might also be played
F#m/A# x-1-x-3-2-2 as a Gm6 (3-x-0-3-3-0) for flavour.
Bm/A x-0-4-4-3-2
G/D* x-x-0-4-3-3
F/D* x-x-0-5-6-5


I suggest the following voicings for the middle 8 to highlight the bass line.

Gm x-x-5-3-3-3
Gm/F x-x-3-3-3-3
C/E x-x-2-0-1-0
C x-3-2-0-1-0
F x-x-3-2-1-1
F/E x-x-2-2-1-1
F/D x-x-0-2-1-1
F/C x-3-x-2-1-1
C/D x-x-0-0-1-0
D x-x-0-2-3-2
