Diamond - The River and The Road
What I was told from Andrew, lead singer/guitarist from The River and the Road.
"simplest way for me to describe the chords is like this;
Drop D tuning, the same three chord progression throughout the song.
Start with a D major shape,
then move your middle finger to
the 3rd fret of the D string,
then third fret on the A string (C over D I suppose it is).
then slide from 2nd to 4th fret on the dropped string for the motif"
