Chords defined:

A (577600)
F#(244300)
C#m ( 446654 )

As you see you play the Barre’ chords with open BE- strings. I don’t know if the chords have other name.
It’s a little bit difficult to play the E and ESUS4 chords like Shawn do. Listen to the song and you figure it out. 
This way to play the song is close to the original.
