The reason the chords are hard to pick is because he's finger-picking. So the base chords are D, Bm, G, Em, but the fingering looks more like:
Dsus2 (xx023x)
An Open Bm chord (x2403x)
G5 (3x003x)
Em7 (0xx03x)

I think you might actually have a softer voice then Sufjan which is saying something

i don't think there are any polyrhythms in this song as it seems to be in 6/8. the bass notes are just 8th notes on the low melody. good tutorial
-
You sang this well, and I like your acoustic version even better than all the accompaniment on the album. Thanks for jump-starting my curiosity (and awe) in polyrhythms. A piece of the rhythmic puzzle clicks into place. I'm seeing them in his other songs now. Like Chicago, I think is 3 vs 4.

this sounds soooooooooo much better tuned down a half step rather then up a full step...its like night and day.

great cover, but i can't ever make out the chords you are posting in most of your covers, would you be able to just post some quick chords?
