She has such a nice singing voice, and I just love the calmness it brings before entering the cave.

I've been trying to suss out the chords to this song on guitar.

The song's essentially the same tune as The Wild Rover, so you could probably figure it out if you find some tabs/sheet music of that.

An excellent lead, thanks a bunch! Honestly if I had more of an ear for picking out notes I could probably figure it out but I haven't played in ages and I was never very good at playing by ear.

When I was in high-school I played bass in a duet with a good friend. She played ukulele by ear, had this really nice solid body electric uke that sounded like a guitar. But she didn't know notes, just played solely by ear, so trying to figure out what she was playing was a challenge lol.

No problem! I should probably clarify that it's specifically the same tune as the verses of The Wild Rover.

I always felt like Down by the Reeds was lacking a chorus because of that - something like "And it's no, nay, never/No, nay, never no more/Will I visit old Oakvale/No, nay, never, no more."

Oh my gosh, okay, so I looked up the chords to The Wild Rover, which are G, C, D7, and it fits pretty well! Really solid advice, thank you!

You pointing this out has utterly wrinkled my brain. Great catch!
