Try using Amy's chart, it is easier to understand.

If you put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the C shape chord you will be playing D. The D shape chord will become E and so on, for every chord shape you play the actual note is shifted up 2 steps.
                                 
A  A#  B  C  C#  D  D#  E  F  F# G   G#  A
    Bb          Db       Eb          Gb       Ab

Amy (mekidsmom) placed a similar chart as a 'Sticky' in the Acoustic section some time ago:

Well playing C G D with the capo on the 5th is F C G, but I can only assume that Dsus2 Asus2 and E was played as a key change to suit the singer's vocal range and possibly they liked the 'sus2' sound to the accompaniment. (You did not say whether the vid was the original artiste or a cover version and I am assuming a cover.)

Robin Gibb had one of the most incredible voices I have every heard which was sadly lost when they started singing falsetto. RIP Robin.

PLEASE - THIS IS A WARNING TO US ALL!!!!!!!!!!
 
YOU NEED TO READ THIS.

I HAVE JUST RECEIVED THIS WARNING.

Shampoo Warning :

I don't know WHY I didn't figure this out sooner!  I use shampoo in the shower.
When I wash my hair, the shampoo runs down my whole body, and printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning : "FOR EXTRA VOLUME AND BODY."

No wonder I have been gaining weight!

Well! I have got rid of that shampoo and I am going to start showering with washing up liquid instead as its label reads :

"DISSOLVES FAT THAT IS OTHERWISE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE."

Problem solved! --- If I don't answer the phone

I'll be in the shower

Hey Russ I said that we should not have cut the fingertips off that bald and bearded clay doll we were chanting over but you insisted so it is your fault .

Chordie was moved to a new and faster server in 2006 and there were software changes at that time also. Unfortunately the original Member start dates was lost in the change over, hence no one shows a registered date before 2006.

Checking the older post I found an announcement from Per in 2007 that October 25th of that year was the 5th anniversary of him starting Chordie: http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=4393

So it was started in 2002. Originally it was to help Per find songs for himself but he soon found that others wanted an easy way of finding chords and lyrics for songs and the idea was born. Over the years Chordie has grown and developed into the site we know and love today.

I have just realised that October 25th this year will be Chordie's 10th birthday.

Being the 'sound engineer' for the evening I had no chance of recording but many of the parents did and I have asked for copies, so I will have to see what comes along.

Roger

Well that was the best birthday party ever. Every one of my students from the youngest, who is only 7, played and sang their hearts out. There was one very proud teacher, one gobsmacked music school head, and plenty very proud parents tonight, several wanting to make it a regular Satuday evening event.

Roger

Topdown is correct. You have to enter your old one before you can change it to something easier to remember, it should be straightforward.

However if you are still having problems write to me privately through the link inder my Username and we will sort it out for you.

Thanks guys and gals so far they day has been good and fairly musical. I have been coaching 3 girls (The Angels, 17, 15 and 14) who are forming a band and then been to the Algarve Rock Choir this evening which I help run with my friend Howard where I both play guitar and sing. Just arrived in home, fed the cats and dog and can now relax.

I am having my party on Saturday at my favourite restaurant although I am sharing it with a student Tatiana who is 12 today. I have invited my close friends and all my students but I have made it a 'Sing For Your Supper' party for the youngsters. Their parents have booked themselves table so they can see what their children are doing. Normally Howard and/or I would play along with them to help them out but, as this is an informal gig, I am letting them do it themselves. Generally each student will perform two numbers and there will be two other students playing and singing along, so I hope it works out OK. Also as they are mainly Portuguese and my friends are mainly English I have been coaching them to introduce themselves and their songs in both Portuguese and English. The stars of the show will be 'The Angels' who will close the evening with 10 songs.

I will be the sound engineer and lager taster.

Oh, in case you are wondering, today I am 35 (with 30 years experience).
