Left of the Dial
Deleted my earlier version, as I stand corrected: it’s in open A. It’s possible to get close in regular tuning, but in certain spots only open A will match the record, and on closer inspection of the live footage, he’s definitely playing some of these chords. There’s a tab on the big sites that’s 90 percent right. (Probably should have looked there before posting.) I’m borrowing heavily from that.
Tune to open A
E A E A C# E
Chords
Low E string on the left to high e on the right, numbers are frets, periods separate strings, x is do not play string.
He uses a lot of different ways to play A in this song.

Maybe that x should be a note on the 5th fret. Not sure.

Those last two chords can also be replaced with this lick

On the last time through, he seems to play
In the last verse, the long held chords are A(3) and Dsus2(2).
