Default Open D progressions - help please

Dear All,

I just gave the DADF#AD tuning a try and I was very impressed with that deep growly ringing sound! Now my problem is that I cannot play every song I want to.

I have learned a few easy versions of the basic chord progression: D, A, Bm, G with an occasional F#m. That's fine for most sons and I can capo these up a few frets.

But then the capo is getting to high up, it would be nice to have a different progression. Like in normal tuning you can use Am, F, C, G, capo it up to the 5th then you get a Dm progression, then you can restart with Em, C, G, D, like a 2nd gear on your car.

In open D, it's this 2nd progression I don't know. I've checked some chord charts on the internet, but I couldn't find a 2nd progression that had nice and easy chords with not too many strings muted.

Perhaps I missed something? Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks in advance!
