Attempt to capture chords for the ukulele that sound more like the guitar voicings she uses:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuX1OoBjCQw

I used her live acoustic version linked above for sound comparison.

NOTE: Although she is playing Em7 (with capo on 2) in the first part of the progression following the C shape
she uses in the video, the A major rings better to my ear than an F#m would following the Dsus2 shape I have
chosen because you get the drone from open E and A strings, which I feel sounds more like the way she plays
it on guitar.

[Chords]
Dsus2  2200
A      2100
Esus4  4400
Eadd11 4440
D      2220
F#m    2120
Db7    1112
