Original Chords:
D - xx0232
G/D - xxx433
Em/D - xx545x
Don’t use these chords though if you're playing acoustic on your own,
These will fill in the bass while singing, so try these..
D - x00232
Dsus2 - x00230 (alternate D to Dsus2 during backup vocals)
G/D - 3x0033 (not G/D but an alternate to give you bass line)
Em/D - 020030 (again an alternate to give you bass)
