The Dadd2/4 chord is just the C shape 2 frets up.

little finger on 1st string) hammer-on the C/G chords with
middle and index fingers together:

[Intro]
Dadd2/4
| / / / / | / / / / | / / / / |
[Verse 1]
Childhood living... is easy to do,
The things you wanted...
I bought them for you,
Graceless lady, you know who I am,
You know I can t let you...
...Slide through my hands!
[Chorus]
Wild----- horses... couldn t drag me a - way,
Wild----- horses... couldn t drag me a - way!
[Verse 2]
I watched you suffer... a dull aching pain,
Now you ve de - cided...
...To show me the same,
No sweeping exits, or off - stage lines,
Could make me feel bitter,
Or treat you un - kind!
[Chorus]
Wild----- horses... couldn t drag me a - way,
Wild----- horses... couldn t drag me a - way!
[Break]

[Verse 3]
I know I ve dreamed you, a sin, and a lie,
I have my freedom, but I...
...I don t have much time,
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried,
Let s do some living...
...After we ve died!
[Chorus]
Wild----- horses... couldn t drag me a - way,
Wild----- horses... couldn t drag me a - way,
Wild----- horses... couldn t drag me a - way,
Wild, wild horses... we ll ride them some day!
