Her Mystery Chords

I haven't been able to source a video of this, but have had a shot at figuring it out by ear, so see what you think. The trickiest part is the time signature, which is 7/4 for much of the song. I've offered a suggestion for the strumming pattern, but have a listen for yourself and play around with it to find what feels most natural. Capo is on the second fret for the studio version.Was this info helpful?

Here's the link to the song (audio only, I'm afraid): https://youtu.be/KApJpOVkjZs
The thing to watch in this one is the time signature. The intro and verses are comprised of alternate bars
of 3/4 then 4/4 time, hence the strumming patterm adds up to 7. The chorus, however, is in 3/4 time.
I've inserted the slash marks as a guide, so you can get the rhythm and syncopation with the lyrics.
There's also a little bass run that's happening behind the chords in the intro phrase and verses,
which I've tried to build into the chords.
In the intro, it's just: a (open 5th) for 2 full beats, then c# (4th fret of 5th string) for one full beat,
then a again for 4 full beats. In the verses, it seems to go: a for 2 beats, c# for a beat, a for 2 beats,
e (2nd fret d string) for 1 beat, f# (4th fret d string) for 3 beats, e for 1 beat. Rinse and repeat.
A: x02220
A/C#: x42220
Asus4: x02230
E: 022100
F#m: xx4222
D/A: x00232
Bm: x24432 (partial barre chord)
Bm7: x24232 (partial barre chord)
D: xx0232
