"129 (MATINEE IDYLL)" - Split Enz, from their second single 'The Sweet Talkin' Spoon Song' (1973)
Note: This is the earlier version of the two released, hence the lack of 7th chords added later!
The chords are actually strummed in a pattern in the verse which alternates between D and Dsus2 then
a form of Gmaj7 and G, it is originally on mandolin but you can easily imitate it using the chord tabs
below,

[Intro]
D G (x3)
[Verse 1]
D G Hiding in the wings forever D G We'll take the stage, 'cause it's now or never D Gm And the whole thing reeks of cheap striptease D Gm The matinee idylls they all fall to their knees Em A It's not all first nights at all C F E There's nothing more dull than a curtain call D G D G `Get on with it'
[Verse 2]
D G Playing Romeo, you make your debut, yes you do! D G Rose red cheeks but your face is all blue Em A It's not all bouquets & white crayons C F E They're going to laugh when you look down Em A I'm going to ask you if you want to be a chorus boy F#m E E G E G E D You can mime the tragedy while we all sing along
