Alan plays nearly all chords in this song with the 3rd and 4th fingers anchored, except in the bridge.
He uses a variety of D chords with different bass notes (C/G/F#) that vary across performances. Use them
as you like or just use the Dsus4 everywhere.
Here are the major varitions he uses.

At the end of each chorus, Alan does a walkdown on the final "row" as follows:
x3x033
x2x033
x00033
3x0033
The first verse is sung a cappella on the record and in most recordings until the walkdown on the last G.
