We do have a D over f sharp (D/F#) later on so it’s just the same thing as the Dsus2/F# except your second finger will also be on the second fret of the high E string. So E minor the low E is open, I’m on the second fret of the A string with my second finger and the second fret of the D string with my third finger and all the rest of the strings are just open. That covers the majority of the song for chords that take you all through the intro and the verse and then a little bit later on we have an E minor. And then D so fourth string open, second fret of the G string with my first finger, third fret of the B string with my third finger and second fret of the high E with my second finger. Then we have C so I’m on the third fret of the A string with my third finger, second fret of the D string with my second finger, the G string is open, I’m on the first fret of the B string my first finger and the high E is open. Or if you want to do it the traditional way going from the G, your third finger again is still where it needs to be so you just drop your first finger down to the second fret of the G string and then use your thumb to grab the second fret of the low E.

So what I do is going from the G I just take my fourth finger off so my third finger is still here and then I move my first finger from the second fret of the A string to the second fret of the low E and then put my middle finger onto the second fret of the G string. If you just take regular D chord and lift your first finger off and then use your thumb to play the F sharp here, but in this particular song personally I don’t like to do it that way. Now there’s a couple of ways that we can play this one. And then we have D suspended two over f sharp (Dsus2/F#).

So we’ve got G major so my second finger is on the third fret of the low E, my first finger is on the second fret of the A string, the D and G strings are open, I’m on the third fret of the B string with my third finger and the third fret of the high E with my fourth finger.
