Morning Glory is in open D as Anais says from this recording
The song has 2 guitars, but I focused on the part Anais plays.
The intro and verses are mostly 3 chords. Open D (000000), G/D (020120),
and then slide the G/D shape up two frets which is close to A/C# (040340).
Instead of the open D, sometimes she’ll slide up to 5, 7, 12.
E.x. from 0/7 on the 6th string (low D) or 0/5 on the 5th string (A).
For the intro a verses, the chord progression repeats but the
rhythm changes so be sure to listen to the song.
