Dadd11 55401x (It's the fancy D chord using the C shape, Jack plays it with a base
A)
Am x02210
Am7 x00210

When playing the C, sometimes hammer-on the D-string 2nd fret (middle finger).
When playing the D, sometimes hammer-on the D-string 4th fret (pinky).
At one point in the second verse, Jack plays a Cadd9 after a D and before a G.
I have noted it as a grace note g(Cadd9) because I think it is more accurate than a
ghost note.
