The variations of D chords above are not different other than the voicings, which in

country songs is an integral part of the song as most country songs use very popular

and usually overused chord patterns and so country musicians have to concentrate on

their voicings to bring a sense of originality to the song.

 BabyEm7sus please F♯relDeaGsus2se me

  Em7sus F♯/D Gsus2 (REPEAT INTRO)

Let my heart rest in pieces

In the next verse, the electric guitar in the background is playing around on

some suspensions in a small riff which is chordally derived from the on we heard

in the intro which means that if you like you CAN get away with a Bm7sus2 instead of

Bm7, but only if you are really being back by a band!

Bm7Someone let you down Gsus2again

 So you Dturn to me

 Your Asus4convenient friend

Bm7Oh but I know what you’re Gsus2doing

 And what you Dhope to find

Here again we see the intro motif reappear, this time however it is best to play it chordally

as follows with the chords changing in rhythm to the riff:

BAR 1 2 3 4

  |Bm7sus2 Bm7| Bm7sus2 Bm7(3)| Bm7sus2 Bm7| Bm7sus2 Bm7(3)| x2

You should be able to see that the motif is all that is changing between these chords but by

presenting it like this it provides a harmonically pleasing voice!

You can also get away with playing it as in the intro of course, depending on whether you want

to finish it loudly or delicately!
