The lyrics to this song are nowhere to be found on the internet so I listened myself. Should be pretty close.
After listening stupidly closely, the D chords in the verses are, on the piano, Dmaj7, but
it doesn't sound right on guitar with most voicings, so just play D and
ignore that very slight dissonance you hear in the recording.
