The G - Gaug - G6 transition throughout the song takes some getting used to but definitely worth the effort.
G aug: An easy way to play this chord is to pretend you are playing an Am shape starting on the 3rd fret and adding your pinkie to the 4th string - 5th fret.
G6 and G/B are both very easy chords to play and a great addition to your chord repertoire (see charts).
Make sure you are comfortable with all the chord changes, and practice them repeatedly until they feel natural and flow smoothly.
