Not really a chord song so you can get a bit creative - the song is in E minor with a
moving bassline,
these chords follow that bass - if you wanted to keep it simpler you can just focus on
the Em and CM7.
The D chord is a little funky, you could get away with D major, I would just slide
the CM7 shape up two frets giving you a kind of D6add4 (labelled as GM7/D below - you
can substitude this
with GM7 or Em9)
(you can give it a bit more depth by adding the A on the 6th string or leave it
muted/open)
I think you could have some fun with this by bringing some dark/neo-folk chord voicings,
so leave the top three strings open and try moving shapes around the bottom three
strings.
You can also change the CM7 to Cadd9 sometimes to emphasise the 7th of the key,
especially towards the end.
