the open D string picking is known as "droning" for those who don't know,
its a Buckian favorite. Off hand its in 7 CH. Bros, this song, These
Days and I think a couple more
the chorus is as far as I can tell just transitions between Bm and D
the ending chord (actually a harmony by definition)
is just the open A, open D and the A on the G string
Live versions of this that I have heard have Peter going nuts and placing
a note everywhere possible, just repitions of the last note in this
transcription. And it definitely sounds like a pedal change with the
last three notes of the verse, maybe a chorus pedal
Questions comments and alterations are welcome
I left out that bridge on purpose because I don't have a satisfactory
translation of it yet but will post it ASAP. Have fun. Be Kind to those
you love. And skinny dip as much as possible.
