This D chord voicing can be used interchangeably with a regular D all throughout this song,
it's personal preference which voicing you prefer or find easier!
Secondly, in the Instrumental / Spontaneous section (before you get to the 'Jesus' part), a Bm chord is
sometimes played as a passing chord, or is played very softly, so feel free to omit this chord.
I thought I would put it in for correctness sake, but the song sounds fine without it
Thirdly, on the intro for the official recording, you can initially hear the guitar playing a variation on
the regular shapes for the first line of the intro, before returning to regular chord shapes for the
rest of the intro.
I will put the fingerings for this first line variation here, but please feel free to play regular shapes
instead.
After the second D of this intro is played, from then on the chords are just the regular shapes.
