stryder,
the hard part is that Paul uses a lot of open tunings...but you can probably figure out the basic chords in the tune, but what makes it different is the way it sounds in the open tuning, the other strings and drones that give a little something different. In standard tuning, you're always going to be a little bit off. Add in that he's using a 12 string only enhances the chord voicing he gets.
I haven't figure this one out, though.

Based on that clip it appears he's in standard tuning but a half step down. Here's my quick stab at the chords:
(chords below start at the 6th string from left to right)
D xx023x
D/C# x4x23x
G/B x2003x
Asus4 x0223x
G 320033
C x32010
A x0222x
Later on in the song he goes from the G chord to the A pattern below:
------------------ -2---2---2---2- -2---2---2---2- -2---4---5---4- -0---0---0---0- ------------------ followed by a C chord followed by an A.
Hope this helps out.

nice work up, GtrPlyr...I probably should've watched the vid. But doesn't it sound on the CD as if he's playing it in open tuning?
