The Sun Is In Your Eyes Chords

open tuning: DAEGAd!
capo on 4
 
based on the video "Jacob Collier - The Sun Is In Your Eyes (live from TED)" from April 2020

! if you want to play along to the voice memo version published in Jan 2021, put your capo on 3, as it is a
semi-tone lower. The chord structure is a bit simpler there too though, so it will not quite sound the same.
 
the entire song consists of always evolving, glistening arpeggios
based on the following 13 chord shapes - sometimes plucked, sometimes hammered-on or pulled-off,
sometimes all strings are used, sometimes not.
 
chord shapes in open tuning (but relative to capo):
1.  D             0-0/2-2-2-0-0
2.  Em11          223000
3.  Em11add6      240000
4.  Em11add6(2)   243000
5.  F#m#5addb9    455000
6.  Gadd9         557000
7.  G6add9        577000
8.  Bm7           9-9-10-x-0-0
9.  A7sus4add6    790000
10. A11           709000
11. A#6add#9      8-10-9-0-x-0
12. E7            2x4xx0
13. Gm6           5760x0
 
 
 there they are once again as tab:
   D    Em11  Em11add6  Em11add6(2)  F#m#5addb9  Gadd9  G6add9   Bm7   A7sus4add6  A11  A#6add#9   E7   Gm6

 e.g. the first two lines, both on the D chord, are arpeggiated like so (h= hammer on, p= pull off):
d|----------0-----------------0-------------0---|--------------0--------------------------0--------|
A|----------0----------------(0)------------0---|--------------0-------------0---------------------|
G|---------(2)----------------------------------|----------------------------0---------------------|

The sun is in my eyes
