The difference between ver.1 and ver.2 chords is version 1 chords
are the ones that he most likely uses in the song, but the 2nd set
are the chords that are easier and more economical to play on the
fretboard. They are absolutely the same, but using ver.2 you can't
get the slide down the neck that is produced on the record.
All other chords are standard chords, most are barred 5. OK here it is.

VERSE 2 (chord progression 1, same as verse 1)
IÂ’ll meet you where the river forks;
When everyone else is dead
YouÂ’ll be safe on the water
WeÂ’ll be much younger, and we remember.
Youre on the distant shore
I stamp my feet down—
Down do you hear knuckles
On your door. Do you understand
What IÂ’m finding for Oh,
G Em
Oceans never listen to us anyway.
G Em
Oceans never listen to us anyway.
G
And if I fall into the drink,
Em
I will say your name, before I sink.
G Em
Oceans never listen to us anyway.
