Chord Req: Buckets of Rain (Bob Dylan)

I've been playing this song for a couple of years now, but I'm still not sure I have the right chords. I suspect it is actually being played in an open tuning, but not sure which...any help is greatly appreciated.

I have Tucker Zimmerman's 'Handfull of Rain' . but I suspect that's a different song !

Acceptable with open D (DADFsharpAD) (6th to 1st) and capoed.

str 3 fr1 and str1 fr2 together and slid up two frets etc. The other chord is
    str3 fr1 and str2 fr2 miss out str 5

I do it in Drop-D fingerstyle:

It's just D and G with a D7 thrown in where appropriate (usually after a D) and then the descending chord run at the end of the verse goes A (at 5th fret open 5th string for bass note)/G/ F#m/A (first position)/D.
Good luck
