Weird names .. but that's what you get if you use strange tunings !
Use the last three shapes for the little introduction bit, then change to
C alternating with Cadd4 and you go into the verse.
She tends to use the chords in pairs, alternating between them.
So use (C and Cadd4) as a pair.
(C7add4 and C9add4) as a pair
and (C6add4 and C6add9add4) as a pair.
The verse just uses these 3 pairs of chords, plus the A6/7sus4 chord.
Play around with these and you should pick it up pretty easily.
A final point - she tends to hit a few open strings between chord changes, and
sometimes hammers on to a new chord shape after strumming a few open strings.
Enjoy !
