Chuur, I've sussed the chords 4 this waiata: 1st chord(Place your 1st finger, a.k.a kooroa, over the 4th fret, 2nd finger on B at 5th fret (2nd guitar string above the high E, as high E, is the 1st guitar string), 3rd finger on 4th string above high E (D string) at 6th fret, 4th finger on 3rd string above high E (G string) at 6th fret, so this creates a bit of an F shape chord but just a bit higher), 2nd chord is the same as the 1st chord, but you move a step up (2 frets up). For this chord you move from the 4th fret to the 6th fret in the same finger position, except your 1st finger is placed on the 6th fret, your 2nd finger is still on B, but placed on the 7th fret, with your 3rd finger on 4th string at the 8th fret and your 4th finger on 3rd string at the 8th fret. 3rd chord (Place your 1st or 1st two fingers on the 4th fret, with your third finger placed on the 5th string of guitar (String A) at 6th fret and your 4th finger being placed on 4th string at 6th fret. 4th chord (Place your 1st finger on the 2nd fret, with your 2nd finger at 3rd string(G), at third fret, with your 3rd finger at 5th string (String A)at 3rd fret and 4th finger at 4th string (D string) at 3rd fret.
