Intro
Chord D the whole time for the Intro
With tab on 6th string going from normal D (2nd fret) for three strums,
To 3rd fret for 2 strums,
Back to 2nd fret for another only one,
then 0 for only two strums.
Just keep doing that for every D chord in the verses. You should be able to hear it in the song.
