i've been playing 'twinkle little star' (alphabet song) in F, and found this version on youtube...looks to be in C?

it starts at :58. i can see the 1st few chords: C, C (w/ middle finger 3rd fret 2nd string), F, C (w/ middle), F...then i lose track of his fingers. can anyone tell me what he is playing? i found some chord charts for this in C, (C, F, G7) but it doesn't sound right to me. whatever he is doing in this video does.

any help would be appreciated, thanks.
 
I think what you're looking for it 2020 which is.. *goes to look* C9???? Don't quote me on that, I'm still new at this myself!
 
Here's what I see. If I were at home I would try it on my uke.

C (0003)
C5 (0033)
F (2010)
C5 (0033)
F (with 1st string muted) <-- may be wrong about this one as it sounds like a lower chord. Possibly Am?
G7 (0212)
C
 
i agree, it looks like C, C5, F, G7...but i still can't get it to sound right. the C, C5 and F sound good, it's the G7 that doesn't seem to fit. i did notice that he does partial strums of some chords, that could be my problem. when i play it in key of F, i do partial strum at least 1 chord to get it to sound better.
