I feel chord inversions really make or break this song. So here's how I play it.
Tempo around 47 bpm
[Intro]
RH - D drones quarter notes throughout
LH - Bm5 - G5 - D5 - A5 (+ add4 with C# in RH)
[Verse]
All bass notes (LH) are in root position, but some chords (RH) are inverted.
D (root)
F#m (2nd inversion: C# - F# - A)
G (2nd inversion: B - D - G) +optional add9 in 3rd measure
D (root)
A (1st inversion: C# - E - A)
[Chorus]
Similar to the intro, but full chords.
Bm (root)
G (2nd inversion: B - D - G)
D (root)
A (1st inversion: C# - E - A)
