The chords are best played in a fingerpicking style
D5 = xx0235 A = x02220 F#m = 244222
Dsus2/F# = 200230 A4 = x02230 Bm = x24432 or xxxx432
Gadd9 = 3x0203 D = xx0232 BmM7 = x24332 or xxxx332
G = 320003 D/C = x30232 Bm7/A = x04232 or xxxx232
Em7 = 022030 G/B = x20033 E7/G# = 4x2400 or xxxx132
A7 = x02020 Gm/Bb = x10033 D4 = xx0233
A7sus4 = x02030 Fm/C# = x44222
D/F# = 200232
N.B.
The Bm progression in the Bridge has a descending bass note,
and to be accurate should have a Bb bass on the BmM7 chord,
I find the simplest way is to play the chord progression on the
top 3 strings only.
