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
solo acoustic.  I added a variation on the G intro and leading into the chorus which 
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.


Chords (relative to the capo):
G     [320003]  use your pinky on the high E so you can change to Gadd4
 [320013]
     [XX0232]
     [X32010]
 [X32000]
    [XX0321]
