The chord progression in the song consist only of three chords, though it sounds like four.
This is actually just the D 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 (xx0232) instead of C,
F#m (244222) instead of Em and E instead of D. Then you can play the first E (x76454) or (x79997)
and the second E (022100).
Another alternative is to tune down to drop D with capo on 3rd and play the C (x32010),
Em (222000) and D first (xx0232) and second (00023x).
