Comments:
Both the C and the FM7/A chord hammer the second finger then leave it open when changing to the next Chord.
You have to listen to the track carefully to understand the technique. 
It has some subtle characteristics about the strumming too.
Standard tuning - capo on 3rd fret - Chords naming is relative to the capo
Some muting of the bottom E, also top e Dsus2.
