"who will sing me lullabies" chords by Kate Rusby
I was watching a youtube video of Kate Rusby playing this song in a live performance and couldn't figure out what chords (fingering) she is playing. She has a capo on the 4th fret and I hope someone might be able to help me with this. Thanks!

If you mean this one -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTSGl19n0f8 - she seems to be in DADGAD tuning. (That's DADGAD with no capo. The capo makes it F# C# F# B C# F#.) You can tell this if you listen closely to how she's tuning before she starts. The song is in G (ie. made concert B by the capo). I can't quite tell all the chords in detail (not without spending a whole load of time on it!), but get into that tuning. Here's a selection of possible chords she may or may not be using (first one is definite): G = 5-x-0-4-x-0. or 5-5-0-4-x-0 Gadd9 = 5-x-0-4-0-0. or 5-5-0-4-0-0 D5 = 0-0-0-2-0-0 D = 0-5-4-x-0-0, 0-0-4-2-0-0, 0-0-0-2-0-4 C = x-3-2-0-x-x, x-3-2-0-3-2 Cadd9 x-3-2-0-3-0 (yep same shape as in EADGBE!) C6/9 = x-3-2-0-0-0 Em7 = 2-2-0-0-2-0 D/F# = 4-x-0-2-0-0 If you haven't tried DADGAD before, you will LOVE these sounds....

Seen Kate many times. Kate's usual tuning is Double Drop-D (DADGBD). I'm fairly sure it's what she uses for Who Will Sing Me Lullabies.
Edit: Just checked, Kate is tuned Double Drop-D in the video, capo on 4, and playing in B. So the chords she uses are (fingerings relative to the capo position, and 6th string to 1st)... B - 5-5-0-0-0-0 E - X-3-2-0-1-0 (3-finger 'C' shape, don't play the 6th string) F# - 0-5-4-0-3-0 (i.e. The E Fingering slid up two frets, and play the 6th string) Abm - 2-2-2-0-0-X (don't play the 1st string) If the capo on 4 doesn't suit your voice, move it to a suitable fret and use the same fingerings relative to the capo position. Hope that helps.

I'm sure you're right, I didn't think of that. It would definitely make better sense than DADGAD for key of G.
