There are plenty of acoustic guitars on the recording. If you have a 
partner to play along, the second guitar can use a capo and play different 
chords but still has the same key as the first one - sounds really nice. 
So here's a chord sheet for the second guitar:

Capo: 7th fret
Play: D / G
Key: A / D
