These are I Hope They Call Me On A Mission chords by Ryan Shupe And The RubberBand on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

The progression the song keeps returning to is G – Em – Am7 – D7 (I – vi – ii7 – V7 in G major). In solfa, that is doh – lah – reh – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
