What is the 2nd chord Denver plays here...
At 6:10, when the guitar is visible......
I was expecting: G, Bm, C, D...as the 4 chords he plays twice.... But it doesn't quite look like that... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV5cyNPiUdg |

Try this... it's how I've played it.
G Bm Perhaps love is like a resting place C D A shelter from the storm G Am It exists to give you comfort C D It's there to keep you warm Em Bm And in those times of trouble C D When you are most alone C D G Gsus4 The memory of love will bring you home G Bm Perhaps love is like a window C D Perhaps an open door G Am It invites you to come closer C D It wants to show you more Em Bm And even if you lose yourself C D And don't know what to do C D G The memory of love will see you through |

The chords he's playing there are:
INTRO: D - G/D - D7 [A1] G - Em - C - D G - Em - Am7 - D Bm - Em - C - D Am7 - D - G - D [A2] G - Em - C - D G - Em - Am7 - D Bm - Em - C - D Am7 - D - G - G [B] Bm - Em - C-D - G (x3) Bm - Em - Am7 - Dsus4 - D (repeat [A]) Two beats per chord except for the C-D in the bridge which are 1 beat each. The Am7 and C are kind of interchangeable (Am7 = x-0-2-0-1-0), but he plays them consistently as shown. The first Am7 (the only one you can see) looks a little like x-0-2-0-1-3, which is possible (I hear the open G but not the top G).

He's playing Am7 add the high G. It also appears to use an Em7 in certain verses.

Thanks Jon (and all)...He does play the Am7 x-0-2-0-1-3 on 'Fly Away' too, so I'm guessing that's "his shape" even if he doesn't play them all.

The open G is redundant, but probably easier to leave it open than add the A on fret 2. The choice is only between two A's in the chord or two G's!

The chord in question, the Em, is played as a three note arpeggio starting with E (D string, 2nd fret), G (G string open), and B (B string open).

It's worth noting that when you start arpeggiating things fingerstyle like this, things can be somewhat ambiguous. If you play B and D notes for example, it could be G/B, Em7, Bm etc. I'm on my phone and can't really hear this, but I'd start with the bassline and then "other notes". Depending on how you finger pick the three chords I mentioned above, they very often may as well be the same chord, in terms of what comes out in passing. Also, note that any of those also work in that FUNCTION: as a passing chord.
Based on common practice and tradition, I'd say he's probably THINKING E minor, but it almost doesn't matter in that context, especially with fingers . |

That’s correct. When I play finger style I am always mixing different inversions of the chords I’m playing.
