One of my all-time favourite bands! This may be my favourite song of theirs.
*NOTE* I think it's really important to play an A root note on the D chord. Doesn't
sound right otherwise.
PS. To do this as a barre chord, use the 'A' shape (root 5th fret 5 string) and include
the 6th string in your bar. The 5th fret is an A note, as in:
5th fret
e-X----|
b----X-|
g----X-|
d----X-|
a-X----|
E-X----|
ANYWAY...
