Judging from the roots, this is in B flat major... The intro goes like this:

Bb - Gm - Gb

He starts singing on the turn around - like this (bass enters on the second time through):

Eb - Gb - Gm - Gb - Bb

Then the verse is:

Eb - Gb - Eb - Gb

Then back to the turn around:

Eb - Gb - Gm - Gb - Bb - Gm - Gb - Eb

Those are the chords as analysized up to about 1:30 of the track...

EDIT

So as a follow-up on the numbering for what I am calling the 'turn-around' - 4, flat 6, 6, flat 6, 1

Then he adds 6, flat 6, 4 to the end later on... It's "resolving" on the IV7 chord in those instances in order to create that big tension in the feeling of the tune...

Beautiful song overall as well... :)
