The lyrics and the chords are taken from the SoulKitchenFR-Session from youtube and a
live performance I attended.
Originally he plays the Dsus chord but for me personally I prefer the Dsus4 as I can
strum more freely. To my untrained ear it sounds pretty much the same. As the graph below
shows, you may not play the E and A string when playing Dsus, whereas when playing
Dsus4, you simply mute the A string with your index finger(which you put on the E-string, 2nd
fret) and can play all strings basically.
All chords are played for 4 beats apart when marked by (chord1)->(chord2), this is the
case when Em7 is followed by Dsus, then you play Em7 for 3 beats and Dsus for 1 beat,
apart from the second last line of the verses, where it's 2 beats Em7 and 2 beats Dsus.
Also, in Bridge 1, when Dsus is followed by G, it's 3 beats Dsus and 1 beat G. Watch and more
importantly LISTEN to the video if you're not sure.
