Bob Dylan – My Back Pages chords

Intro: D Dsus D Dsus D Dsus D Dsus (4x)

The Chords remain the same for all verses.

I use barre chords for the B minor and G major chords. Though not necessary. 

Progression as follows: D Dsus Bm Gmaj A

The Dsus chord achieved by placing Pinky finger on E string 3rd fret while playing D chord.
