I took the intro from mdixon_22's tab.
The following chord structure looks a lot more complex than it is.
You can also just keep playing D if you're not so experienced yet.

The riff above can only be heard in the intro, the second part of Verse I & the instrumental interlude.
I.e for the first part of Verse I and all of Verse II only guitar I plays. You can hear a bit of the
piano though.
