Letters immediately after a slash (/) are a bass notes.
So the “C2  /C /B  D/A” is A C2 chord then C bass, B bass, 
then D chord with an A as the bass note.  There were a lot of
slashes to keep track of;  let me know if I made any mistakes.

It's hard to hear exactly what notes are in the chords,
but this sounds close.
D=XX0232  D/A=X0023X  Dsus4/B=X20032  Dsus4/E=02003X
C2=X32033 Asus4=X02230  Em7=022030

D                        D/A      Dsus4/B        Dsus4/E
   give my jewels to the army, my silverware and jeans 
D                       D/A               Dsus4/B      Dsus4/E
   give my love to your family; tell them anything.
D                   D/A              Dsus4/B      Dsus4/E
   give yourself to anyone; give yourself away 
D                      D/A      Dsus4/B              Dsus4/E
don't be a nightingale      for anyone's space to fill. 
C2  /C /B  D/A    /A /B  C2      /C /B  D/A      /A  /B
    if  i  could,           i'd be your star again 
C2  /C /B  D/A                      Asus4

D        D/A                        Dsus4/B      Dsus4/E  
nothing. 
D              D/A                  Dsus4/B            Dsus4/E

          D         D/A            Dsus4/B      Dsus4/E

C2  /C /B     D/A    /A   /B   C2         /C /B   D/A /A  /B
    i  didn't try to take your love away 
C2  /C /B   D/A              Asus4          
    I  just never knew i had it.
