Chords:

  D5/A Csus2/D G/DG/D E minor 7Em7 Dsus4/E  Csus4add2 Cadd2Cadd2
|D--0-------0-------0----0---0----------0----------0---|
|B--3----===3-------3----0---3----------1----------1---|

|D--x-------x-------x----2---x----------x----------x---|

She plays D5/A three different ways in this song:

1)Straight; as noted above

2) Hammer-on the A augmentedA note on the G+G string like this:


  D5/A
|D--0----|
|B--3----|
|G--0h2--|
|D--0----|
|A--0----|
|D--x----|

3) Hammering on like above but then dropping the D MajorD note on the BB string to a C majorC and then returning to the
full chord:

This does not account for rhythm. It's pretty simple to hear though.

  D5/A
|D--0---0--0--0|
|B--3---3--1--3|
|G--0h2-2--2--2|
|D--0---0--0--0|
|A--0---0--0--0|
|D--x---x--0--0|
