D5: XX023X and D2: XX0230, or you can play a regular D major
and it sounds fine. The D5 and D2 reflect the accented notes that
(I think) a second guitar plays. I've tried to explain this at
the bottom. If you don't want to go to all that hassle, just strum
a D chord and occasionally lift your finger off the e-string.
A E D5 D2 x2

[A] My lover's [E]heart, for [D5]mine will [D2]break

[A]O--[E]hi--[D5]o[D2]
A E D5 D2 x2

[A]O--[E]hi--[D5]o[D2][D]
[G] And I could see her lying in the [D]valley
Down [A]below
[G] And I could smell the green of those[D] hills
Those Kentucky [E]hills
[A] You can take a [E]tug there, oh, [D5] take a [D2]train

Notes:
Here's how I play the chords with one guitar and sound
reasonably like the recording. Pluck the notes under the
