American Mary chords by The National

Letters immediately after a slash (/) are a bass notes.
So the “B bass,
then D chord with an A as the bass note.  There were a lot of
slashes to keep track of;  let me know if I made any mistakes.

It's hard to hear exactly what notes are in the chords,
but this sounds close.
