The chords are named odd due to this special tuning. So even though the
Cadd9 chord is in a C Major shape, the actual notes are different causing
the name change. Hopefully, it's not too confusing.

Spot on, man. Sounds beautiful. Even better that it's in double dropped D because that's the tuning I use to play my rendition of Don't Let it Bring You Down. Now I can jam with 2 Neil songs in that tuning hahaha. Right on, 5 stars.
+1

Very nicely done and explained. I love playing this song!

When you hear the strings 'ringing' you know the D Tuning was perfect.
