Based around the E shaped power chord.  I cannot tell if she is Baring her index finger across the whole fret or just the the notes on the 6th string, you will have to expierment with it. 


The song is pretty simple. an easy 4 chord up down the neck.

Starting on the 11th fret is a D#Maj

Slide down to the 8th for a CMaj7 (same chord shape just lift finger2)
down to the 4th G#Minor
and up to 6 = A#Minor
Then it just repeats it's self.  The chorus is just a change in strum pattern.

for future ref you can use the same tool I have used

Let me disagree just a bit and then we can talk about it if you want to.

If she is playing power chords (strings 4-6 only) then they are neither major nor minor, so it would be:
D#5 - C5 - G#5 - A#5.

If she plays the 3rd string with her middle finger one fret above the barre, it's a major (I think she does that sometimes).  If she leaves her middle finger off and plays it with her index barred, it's a minor.  In short, it only becomes major or minor if she plays the 3rd string.

I don't see a Maj7 in there at all.

If somebody wanted to play the full chords barred, this progression should be D#-Cm-G#-A#.  It's a standard I - vi - IV - V (aka "doo wop") progression, or a transposed G - Em - C - D.

No arguement on my part, thanks for the revision.    I just used the Jguitar chord finder and wrote down what it said by watching the vid.  And punched the fromations as good as I could tell she was oplaying.
Yes the Cmaj made my head scratch also and I put it in the chord finder 2x and said OK. --

Re: What chords does Tiffany use in this?

I wouldn't start on the 11th fret. I'd bar the A chord for the Eb, then bar the Am, for the Cm. Then use the E shape bar for the G# and Bb.

This pattern is far more compact. It makes the pattern easier to learn and then move up or down the neck, for other keys.
