Chords:

    D5/A  Csus2/D  G/D  Em7 Dsus4/E   Csus4add2  Cadd2
|D--0-------0-------0----0---0----------0----------0---|
|B--3----===3-------3----0---3----------1----------1---|

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

1)Straight; as noted above

2) Hammer-on the A note on the 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 note on the B string to a C 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|
