Intro
The chord progression in the song consist only of three chords, though it sounds like four.
This is actually just the D MajorD in the bass going down one octave. An alternative way of playing it
to get the octave lower is capo at 1st and use the chords; D MajorD (xx0232) instead of C,
F# minorF#m (244222) instead of E minorEm and E MajorE instead of D. Then you can play the first E MajorE (x76454) or (x79997)
and the second E MajorE (022100).
Another alternative is to tune down to drop D MajorD with capo on 3rd and play the C majorC (x32010),
E minorEm (222000) and D MajorD first (xx0232) and second (00023x).
