I'm working on "I Still Love You" by Glenn Phillips.

The original recording is in the key of A. I'm playing this on my baritone ukulele and I've run across one of the chords in the song that is simple, but I can't find an exact match in my chord references. So on the baritone (tuned DGBE) this chord is 1st string-1st fret, 2nd string open, 3rd string-2nd fret, 4th string-3rd fret. That makes the notes FABF. This chord is getting played right after a D major chord before going back to an A major at this line in the song:

"You [D] shake [?] me, you [A] leave no room to [F#m] hide"

Here's the YouTube video link if you need to hear the song:

When I plug this chord into some online chord finders for guitar chords I get an "F-5" or an F major diminished 5th chord. Anyone have an extensive baritone ukulele chord chart that can confirm that?

Help, what is the proper name of my mystery chord?
 
Hey, the mystery chord is a Dm6 AKA the "minor iv" used a lot by the "Fab Four" AKA the Beatles. :D
Nice song choice BTW.
 
Mystery chord

Is this still a Dm6 even though I am playing an F on the lowest string (for an FABF) rather than the "D" in the DFAB?
Here's a link to a chord box chart I drew of the mystery chord.

Yeah, still a Dm6, but in first inversion. On the recording, the bass stays on the note D from the D chord to the Dm chord.
If it were me, I would leave the D string open to put it in the bass. No need to double the third (F). It would be closer to the original anyways. But, really, play the way you think sounds best. :)
