The second chord of the intro might be G/F# or D/F# cuz the chord is
not very clear in the original song, but personally I think G sounds better.

Amy's gone
D G
And time rolls on

How far? How fast? How long?

The last time we saw Amy

She was headed for the shore

Fighting off the volatile gray skies

She said now begins forever

Amy was a fighter

In a bar code plastic world
