FYI: The acoustic version of Moonshine was recorded on a guitar tuned about
1/2 step (50 "cents") high. So if it sounds a bit off when you play along
with the recording, either adjust the recording speed with an app like
iRehearse Plus, or tune your guitar up to match the recording.
The opening chord pattern bounces between a C#m (xx2120) and an F#m7 (xx7670)
with embellishing notes thrown in (xx2124) (xx7675).

I write chord charts to show how, as a rhythm guitarist,
I play songs. I don't claim they are the "right" way. They're not
intended to be taken as tabs which notate exactly how a song was played
on a recording.
