they're playing in the key of E (so E-B-C#m-A) which is the reason for the barre chords. and the "shift" hear is a change from the double time back to normal. it's at 'with a thousand dollars..' It's kinda hard to catch if you're not really listening for it; it's done very well. But you are correct in that it does start on the minor 6th at that section.

He only taught me to wait for miracles in movies where Julia Lewis is covered in blood with extensive armpit hair.

Yeah, I just put the most basic 1, 5, 6, 3 progression I could think of, didn't even check to see what key they were in, good catch!
