Alright, starting off with the setup - standard tuning and a capo on the third fret. That's a pretty common setup for acoustic covers, makes things accessible. Good to know the seven core chords right away too, that gives a clear picture of what's coming.

They're laying out the chords for the verse progression: D minor, G, and A minor. Simple enough, and that strumming pattern 'down, down, down, down, up' is a classic beginner-friendly pattern. This should be easy to pick up quickly.

Okay, now it's getting a bit more involved with the A minor, G, F, E minor, D minor, and C/G/B sequence. That's a nice jump in complexity, and the strumming pattern gets a little twist with the added 'down, up' at the end. Definitely adds a bit more movement.
