D5 away (Note: This song is played in a modal D tuning. Both the high and low E strings are tuned down to D. The Dm9 is played like an Am , with the middle finger of the left hand picked up, leaving the G string open. G is a different form also, because of the modal tuning. Play G by fretting the fifth fret on both the low D and A strings.)
