Chords

I tabbed this from the live version that she did on SNL. It's probably best to watch this before you learn the tab to see the way she plays the song. I'm not 100% sure on the chord names so if anyone knows the actual chord names please let me know and I can fix them. [Tuning] C A C G6sus4 C e Tune the low E down two full steps to C Tune the D down one full step to C Tune the B up one hald step to C
[Chords]
 Fmaj9    C        G6sus4   Amadd#11/C   Cmaj9
E|-0-------0---------0---------0-----------0-|
C|-0-------0---------0---------0-----------0-|
G|-0-------0---------0---------2-----------0-|
C|-0-------0---------0---------4-----------2-|
G|-x-------3---------x---------0-----------2-|
C|-5-------0---------7---------0-----------0-|

In the video I think she's playing G6sus4 the way it's tabbed above but I think it sounds better like
this

I recall late November, holding my breath

                                  G6sus4
Slowly I said, "You don't need to save me
Amadd1#11/C (Ring out) But would you run away with me?" Yes [Chorus]
