You are actually both correct in some way. If you look at the root notes in the tab, they are in fact C, F, A, and G. Although Dave tends to put his fingers on the strings in the same formation as the full C, F, Am and G chords, he does not strum the full chords (although during the jam he comes closer to full strumming). He is actually focusing on playing certain notes (root notes and the hammer-on), so there's more to it than there may seem on a first look.
Also, there is a consistent hammer-on on the D string (0h2). The way Dave plays it, it
looks like he is fully hammering each chord (C, F, Am and G) on and off, but it is mostly the D string that is focused on for the hammer. Tim is also very much focusing on playing this hammer, so the sounds of both guitars can mesh together making it harder to distinguish who is playing what exactly. Hope this helps clear things up!
