Note: This D is done by playing a regular D chord and putting your pinkie on
the 5th fret of the high-E string (the A note). Also, during the
“When the concrete mountains come tumblin' down” chorus part, this
same chord form is used for all the chords, i.e. the F is 3 frets above the D,
the G 2 frets above that, etc. (I will add chord diagrams later).
