This is a chord transcription from a promo copy of the album. The G chord Conor uses in rhythm (which is what I'm transcribing) isn't a standard shape. I will site it as a G it's a little different: E|-3-| A|-x-| D|-0-| G|-0-| B|-3-| e|-x-| And on the D during the verses you should play around with the chord a bit, I like to the G string up with the rhythm. Just listen to the song and you'll understand. C
