Can you list the chords in this cover version?

Can anyone out there tell me the chords used in this cover of "Atlantic City" by Bruce Springsteen?

I'm just a beginner on the guitar but so far I think the introduction is simply Em followed by G and then C major7 (with a doubled fifth according to jamplay.com).

I think at 44 seconds he plays a D but I'm not totally sure. What I'd really like is to know what chord he plays at 1:08, it's a little to fast for me to make out. Help with any other chords he plays would be really appreciated

B minor sounds better to me but I could live with a D.

I concur with unSane: that looks and sounds like a brief, passing Bm.
