Help working out a song by ear?

Honestly, this song might be a bit above my skill level, but I'm still trying it anyway. I'm having a bit of difficulty working out the chords being played along with figuring out the tuning the song is played in.

The band usually plays in Drop G# (7 string) and this song seems to be on clean guitar + acoustic mix. Are they using jazz voicings for this? Is it a four-note chord? Maybe someone can help shed some light for me.

Im doing this in standard tuning and i'm pretty sure they're tuned down (i thought a whole step but then i saw you said G# so that's probably it), so it won't sound like it's played in the song but these are the notes i'm hearing for the electric guitar part and i believe i got it down correctly:

E--0--------0---------------------
B--7------7-----------------------
G--8----8-------------------------
D--9--9----------------------------
A---------------------------------
E---------------------------------
Repeat x4

E------2--------------------------
B----0----0-----------------------
G--1----3-------------------------
D---------------------------------
A---------------------------------
E---------------------------------
Repeat x2

E---------------------------------
B----0-4-2-0---------------------
G--0------------------------------
D---------------------------------
A---------------------------------
E---------------------------------
Repeat x2

Then there's acoustic guitar and another clean electric that plays a harmony but it's really hard to tell exactly what's happening and i would probably have to spend a lot of time with it to figure it out hehe.. Fucking amazing song though, thanks for sharing it!
Hope this helps a bit with figuring the rest out :D
