(Note: This song is played in a modal D tuning. Both the high and low E strings are
down to D. The Dm9 is played like an Am, with the middle finger of the left hand picked up,
the G string open. G is a different form also, because of the modal tuning. Play G by 
the fifth fret on both the low D and A strings.)
