The D chord

A major chord stacks the root, the major 3rd and the 5th. It sounds bright and settled, and most pop and folk songs are built on major chords.

Numbers on the dots are fingers: 1 index, 2 middle, 3 ring, 4 pinky. ○ means play the string open and × means don't play it. Orange marks the root note. The tab reads from the low E string to the high E string.
