verse progression

e-----------------------0----------------------------|
B-------2h3-2---------------0------------------------|
G-------------2-------2-------2--------4-----4-------| chord shapes:
D-----2---------2---2-----------2----0-----0------2b-| (x02220) (3x2200) (5x0430)
A---0---------------------------------------------2b-|
D-----------------3----------------5-----0-----5--2b-|

e--------------------------1------1------2--2-3-0-2--|
B-----------3h5-3------1h3----1h3---1----3-(3)-(3)---|

D-------5-----------5-(3)----------------0-----------| (x35533) (x13311) (xx0232)
A---3-----------------(1)----------------------------|
D----------------------------------------------------|

the chord shapes show the placement for index, middle and ring fingers,
notes are added with the pinky or by lifting fingers

she plays it somewhat differently every time;
there are also little hammer-on's and pull-off's here and there, result of changing shapes
