If you're a beginner, or if you find it easier if you're playing and singing,
simply play an open D chord instead of that repeating D riff; but, if you want to play it
like on the record, instead of playing a D chord, play
e|---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--2---4---2---0------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------|
If you need a visual with the chord shapes/repeating D riff and song structure, this is a good video
although he skips the solo and is tuned a whole step down:
