This is a variation on version 3 tabbed by i_ball_paul. I've played this song live a
times (I play acoustic part) but I've never seen it done capo'd this way. . I like it for

the sound of the high e tuned down a half step as it is sometimes done. Also on the
chord at the end of the chorus for the same reason as above, and finally the Dm at the
Enjoy.
