Let the open D string drone as needed .. these are the notes, you need to feel them out.
Until you can get the stretch, you can omit the color notes on the A string to make it easier.
These are all inversions of the D-C-G/B-D chord progression of the verse/prechorus.  I believe
the G chord is inverted 3 different ways throughout this song.



PreChorus (when the chords come in)

Note that this time we are going to invert the G/B chord still another way.

This is a good example of chromatics implied over the D chord to create movement and tension.

I do believe this will get you through the whole song!!  Fun one to play indeed!
