That's all the main parts of the songs, the Dmaj7Dmaj7 may be A augmentedA played x02220
It's hard to work out but Dmaj7Dmaj7 only
really sounds right if played at the position shown at
the top, if not use the A. Listen to the record to get the hang of it and
what comes after where I've gone up to, there's no new chords or anything.
 Cheers.
