[D] [G] [Ab]
[D] [Ab] Now there are two ways to play this.
There's the way that it's played on the record, and then there's a slightly easier way for beginners.
So the way it's on the record is with barre chords.
So you start with a D, [D]
then you [A] move up to A major, and then to G major.
[G] The first [D] part of it is, [G]
[D] [G]
then you slide down to B minor, [Bm]
[A] then to A, and then back to [D] D.

[D] So it's D, [A] A [G] major, G major.
[D] [A] [G]
And just like before, it's [Bm] B minor, [A] to A, back [D] to D.
