only marvel at.  Here is my puny interpretation of one of her best.
Tuning: EADGAC#
Capo 1
Tune you guitar like this from standard tuning:
1. Lower your B [5th] string one whole step to A (2nd fret on the G string)
2. Lower your high E [6th] string 1-1/2 steps to C# (4th fret on your newly tuned A
string)
3. Apply your capo to fret 1
Please tune carefully or it will sound like ass.  I play the low G note with my thumb
the G chord as a bar.
There are several simple picking patterns that repeat:

Example:
A                G
You were delivered to me
                A                      D               D1 - D2 - D3
We were closed as the stores on Christmas Eve
        A                         E1
So I felt around in the dark
              G                     D1
Building rope ladders into your heart
                D1             E2               G
Climbing hand over hand to get in
                  D1          E2          A
That's the shape I found you in
                  D1          E2           A
That's the shape I found you in
