Song Notes:
-----------------------
All notes are relative to the capo. That is, an open string is in fact the
first fret of the guitar. The same applies to the chord diagrams below
- the E position is in reality the F position (1st fret).

The capo on the first fret is only really necessary if you want to match the
pitch of the original song, which is a half-step higher than it would be if you
play without the capo. Not using a capo is also handy for live performances
if you prefer to use "concert pitch" tuning.
