EXPLANATION, CHORD INVERSIONS (MAINLY FOR PIANO) AND TIPS FOR BEGINNERS:

From what I picked up, this is how the chords are being played, with the actual note order in parentheses
for those who aren't that theoretical excluding the bass note/root note
(and I'm mainly speaking in piano terms considering the nature of the song):

Chord diagramA augmentedA picture for the chords on piano for anybody who prefers a visual demonstration and especially for you
beginners to make it easier for you, with the left hand marked in blue and the right hand marked in red:

Chord diagramD MajorD|-0-----0-0-7-----0-----0-0-7-----0-----0-0-7-----0-----0-0-7-

With your fretting hand (left if you're right handed and vice versa), put your pinky or ring finger
on the seventh fret on the D-string, whichever you find most comfortable. Put your index finger on the fifth
fret on the G-string. After the first chord, you've let go of your index finger, leaving the index finger
and the middle finger free for the bass line. The first three notes on the lowest string (E-string tuned
down to Chord diagramD MajorD) are played on an open string (so only using your thumb on your strumming hand), and then use your
middle finger for the 7th fret on the lowest string, and then your index finger for the fifth fret
on the A-string.


If you want to play it in standard tuning:

Chord diagramE MajorE|-----------5---------------5---------------5---------------5-

With your fretting hand, put your index finger on the fifth fret on the A-string. Use your middle finger
for the fifth fret on the G-string and your pinky for the seventh fret on the D-string.
After the first beat, you've let go of your middle finger so you're only using your pinky for the chord.
Let go of the A-string with your index finger to play the fifth fret of the E-string.
