Topic: Need help with a song... can't find chords/tabs for it anywhere!

I've been playing guitar for awhile and know a fair amount of chords, but I just can't figure out the progression in this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvhKg8Z8vis

It's called Audio Recording Club - For A Friend. Beautiful song. Anyways, I figured it went kind of standard like C, Am, F, Fm, but when I play that it doesn't sound right.

Any help? Is there a capo involved?

It's in the key of B.  To make playing it easier, you might put a capo on fret 2 and play this:

A - Amaj7 - F#m - D - A - E - D - Dm - A

That's the intro.  The rest of the song is probably variations on these.  I didn't listen to it all.
