Melancholy Child Chords

Melancholy Child by Pam Tillis is a moderately challenging guitar song played in the key of Am. It uses the chords Am, Dm, C, G, A7 and A7(#5). Use the transpose and diagram tools on this page to change the key, see each shape, or simplify the chords.
In Dm:
e --------|------5---5-3---0----0-|1=0---1=0---------------|
B ------1-|3---3-------------1----|----1-----1-3-----------|
G --2-----|-----------------------|------------------------|
Or in Am, capoed up 5:
e --------|------0---0------------|------------------------|
B --------|------------3---0----0-|1=0---1=0---------------|
G ------0-|2---2-------------0----|----0-----0-2-----------|
D --2-----|-----------------------|------------------------|
The chords are Dm Dm C Dm in some parts, and Dm C C Dm in others. I think.
I think it's G, A7, and A7(#5) in the bridge. Maybe.
