I don't hear a "D" chord in the verses (or bridge) when I listen to the recording. I think it just goes back and forth with the "C" and "G" chords.

Triplet feel e|-11-11-11-11--9--9--9--9---8-8-8-8----------------------------- b|-13-13-13-13--11-11-11-11--9-9-9-9--9-9-9-9~~---9--7--6/7--9--- g|------------------------------------8-8-8-8b~---8--6--5/6--8--- d|--------------------------------------------------------------- If anyone ask me to re-edit this to Proper form, I'll just delete it

The original is tuned to down one half step to Db (transcribe +2)
