You will be playing D G D F# while a D chord plays D A D F#.

It sounds like a valid chord (all notes are valid in Key of D).

I can't find this in any chord charts.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Rick!

Definitely a suspension chord -(Dsus4). Normally stacked D-G-A-D , without the F# (10th) on top. No such thing as a "valid" chord. If it sounds good, it is good.
