I've seen this charted with major chords in the intro and and verses.
To my ear, the song has a slightly darker feel or dissonance than
major chords allow. Check out the Sound Bite. The D5 and Dmaj7 really make this happen.
The D string should stay open thru all of the D5-Dmaj7 exchanges.
This is where the slight dissonance comes from. Also, watch for the G6
chord in the verses. It leaves the high E string open to add to the darker feel.
The little triplet lick between phases of both the intro and verses is open A string,
hammer to 2nd fret, open D string.
I use a cadd9 in the bridge instead of C...just sounds a bit fuller.
Something else worth pointing out is the chord exchange over the vocal
vamp at the end of the bridge. It sticks in G. It's an odd occurance
musically, but the transition out of the bridge from A to Em works
beaitfully. Well written in my opinion and off the beaten path.
I play the D5 by barring the G and B strings, second fret with my
index finger and adding my middle finger on the B string 3rd fret.
Then just lifting the middle finger takes me from D5 to Dmaj7. My
index finger mutes the high E string thru the whole part...you don't
want it ringing out. I finger pick using my thumb on the open A string
and middle finger on the B string. The G 2nd fret and open D string
are sort of brushed in the process...not really dominant but there.
Notice at the end of the song, I've noted D5-Dmaj7 (toggle)...
there's an undulating keyboard part at the end of the song that can be
mimicked by just toggling between the 2 chords.
How the ending plays out really depends on which version you're listening
to...all the pieces are here. Just rearrange as needed.
