D is sometimes played on all open strings, but also sometimes like this:

D ----4---
A ----0---
F# ----3---
D ----0---
A ----0---
D ----0---

G is also played in two different ways, most of the time (in the verses and all the quick changes) like this:

A ----0---
F# ----1---
D ----0---
A ----2---
D ----0---

But in the chorus it's like this

And for the D/F# in the bridge, just play the F# on the 6st string, all the other strings open

You can play the same chords in standard tuning, for a more open sound you can then play the Dsus4 like this

B ----3---
G ----0---
D ----0---
A ----0---
E ----X---

Intro:
D Dsus4 D G D G D G D

Verse 1:
D  Dsus4    D G D
Oh naïve little me
D      Dsus4      D G D
Asking what things you have seen
      D    G     D G D
And you're vulnerable in your head
     A        G         D G D
You'll scream and you'll wail 'till you're dead

Verse 2:
 D    Dsus4   D G D
Creatures veiled by night
 D    Dsus4        D G D
Following things that aren't right
       D       G     D G D
And they're tired and they need to be led
       A     G         D G D
But you'll scream and wail 'till you're dead

Chorus:
   D  Dsus4  G    D
But give me to a rambling man
    D     Dsus4         D G D G D G D
Let it always be known that I was who I am

Verse 3:
 D   Dsus4     D G D
Beaten battered and cold
   D      Dsus4       D G D
My children will live just to grow old
     D  G     D G D
But if I sit here and weep
     A         G       D G D
I'll be blown over by the slightest of breeze

Verse 4:
     D  Dsus4    D G D
And the weak need to be led
     D    Dsus4       D G D
And the tender are carried to their bed
      D     G   D G D
And it's a pale and cold affair
    D     Dsus4         D G D
And I'll be dammed if I'll be found there

Chorus:
   D  Dsus4  G    D
But give me to a rambling man
    D     Dsus4         D G D G D G D G D G D G D G D
Let it always be known that I was who I am

Bridge:
   D/F#                 D
It's funny that the first chords that you come to
     D/F#             D
Are the minor notes that come to serenade you
      D/F#           D  D/F#      D
And it's hard to accept yourself as someone, you don't desire
  G            D G D G D G D
As someone you don't want to be

Chorus:
  D  Dsus4  G    D
Oh give me to a rambling man
   D     Dsus4         D G D
Let it always be known that I was who I am
  D   Dsus4  G    D
Oh give me to the rambling man
    D     Dsus4         D G D G D G D G D G D G D G D
Let it always be known that I was who I am
