you can do the whole song in power-chords (playing only the 3 low strings (E A D),
at least i prefer it that way,
and if you are not too lazy tune your guitar to Drop D and play the Dms
as a power chord, the D chord sounds better 1 octave down (low D string than 5 on the A string)
Opening (is only on the high e and B strings):
