Standard tuning: All chords listed below are relative to the Capo on the first fret, so
in other words, these notes are labeled as though no capo is being used, so you'd adjust
all notes up one fret for the proper labels if you cared.
The "*" indicates exactly where the Chord begins to be strummed on the particular lyric
being sung. I doubt this tab is 100% accurate but it sounds pretty close.
