Note:  This is the way Mat plays it live, but is also
          the same way he plays it in the studio.

Watch him play it live:

He plays the chords listed below.  He puts a capo on the first
fret because he is tuned down half a step.  This makes it standard.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: Standard

Chords Used in this Song:

 ---------------------
|                     |
|  C         (x32010) |
|  C/B       (x20010) |
|  Am        (x02210) |

|  Dm7       (xx0211) |
|                     |
 ---------------------

Note:  In the studio version, you can actually 
           hear Mat use this G chord: (x55433).  
                For Example, listen to 1:49-1:51.

       However, Mat just plays the Gmaj6 chord live 
           and sometimes doesn't even hit the 
                high E string at all.
