Anybody with a strong ear and musical knowledge up for helping a guy out (transcribing)?

I'm a little OCD, and can't stand it when I'm not completely sure what's really happening (it happens sometimes, but so far rareish occurance).

Well, just for the heck of it, I wanna transcribe "For Richard" by Caravan. Mostly doing it with their live-orchestra performance, since to my ear, everything's a little less muddy, but still not completely sure what to play on the verses.

Generally, the song in the verses hovers around Aminor, Fmaj7, Dminor, Eminor-ish..before going at the jam part in A dorian.

First chord is especially hard, since I hear it being A-ish, but after multiple tries, lotsa times, I felt like Gmajor triad over an A power chord in the bass, sounds the closes to my ears (I play on synthesizer). But still now sure, if playing the notes A-E G-B-D is correct, especially everytime, since I feel they kinda wobble around a bit.

Second chord sounds pretty natural as regular Fmaj7, but I got a hunch, it could also be Dmin/F. I don't trust tabs at all.

Here's the link, hopefully I don't get in any kind of trouble for it.
