version.

Capo on 2nd fret.

All chords have been renamed according to the capo for 
easy playing along use.  For example...Am --> Bm; Bsus2 
--> Asus2, etc. etc.  The chords aren't especially hard
to play, but many of them are inverted and have different
roots, etc. so that's kind of a trip, but if you can't
play the chords as tabbed out, just kind of strum along
as best you can and it sounds alright anyway.
