As per my explanation I play cadd9, a 'full' g chord and a d'f# which I think allows for more interesting finger picking around those chords.Was this info helpful?

This is how I play this classic (capo at 3 to suit my 'singing'). I don't play full up/down
strokes I just pick the strings with my index finger used as a plectrum to pick out
the root note of each chord first.
G = 320033
Cadd9 = x32033
D/F# = 200232
