Tim, it's great to have you on board. Between the lot of us we'll sort this thing out come hell or high water.
What I would like to add here is the musical score is hand written by Gord in my songbook and unfortunately I can't read musical scores , but the sounds you're hearing with your keen ear probably are the ones that Gord has noted in the score and there are plenty of them.
So the "Bm5+" (as in Jim's post) begins at the line "I was only trying to get by, then the "Em9," with some of (Em) life's a(Em7)menities.
And these chords, together with what the notes in the musical score produce, we might be close to answer to the Gord chord question.

RJ.
