I play this cover with my band but I'm absolutely positive I'm playing the wrong opening chord for the main riff.
Every cover I've seen plays a power chord F at the 8th fret, but it's definitely not that on the record. Youtube clips of the original look like some kind of 5th fret chord stretched to the 8th with the little finger, but I can't work out what it is.
Does anyone know what the chords are for the main riff? I'm wondering if I've actually got them all wrong, not just the first one.

It may be something similar to this chord near the end of the song:

or this one:

Does that help?

So do you think the chord shown below is also Bb ma7, but with his little finger on the 8th fret again?

The chord in your latest clip looks like it might be a similar fingering but with the little finger on the 8th fret as you describe. However, I think it might be functioning as a F/C chord (i.e. F second inversion), as I think he might just be playing the lower notes. Again, I'm speculating.
Not sure if anyone else has any thoughts?

Good to know. So you didn't get sacked for playing the chords I suggested. That's a relief
