I've given the voicings below if you want to do this. Personally, I only pick 4 measures of the alt. GF1 and gently strum the verse chords. See what you think... Note that the Alt. GF1 is an octave lower but might be preferable to ease into the first verse as you're using the same voicing as the first chord.

However if you are a solo guitar and voice (as I am ), you might want just to play the chords below. It's up to you... I've added the 6th (B) in the bass to the D6 chord. In the first four measures, play the D6 without, the first time and with, the second time. You hear how cool that sounds? You're mirroring the lead guitar at that point.

(You get the chords). So, you might also end with: a) the chords, as shown or b) finish on the final Dm(maj7) of the CHORUS. Just a suggestion...
