With thanks to Salimsaaty who's tab I have based this on.
I've added a few extra chords and put in some more detail.
It's my first contribution and I hope you enjoy!
No capo required, play standard EADGBe tuning
Intro explanation:
For the A chord, switch between these two chords...
A X02220
A6 X02222
Then switch to either of these options for the D chord. Strictly speaking option 1 is what is played
but I think they all work and you might find some of the other options easier to play.
D chord option 1:
D XX0232
D* XX0235
D chord option 2:
D XX0232
D* XX4232 (leave your fingers in a D shape and use your pinky to reach to the 4th fret)
D chord option 3:
D XX0775 (finger placement = XX0231) i.e. Finger 1 goes on fret 5, fingers 2 & 3 on fret 7
D* XX0777 (finger placement = XX0234) see below for explanation of finger placement
* for finger placement, 1 = index finger, 2 = middle finger, 3 = ring finger, 4 = pinky
