CAPO: 4th fret
(Will then sound in the original recorded key of C#)

The chords are intended to be fingerpicked, note that
in some of the shapes the 1st string is not played.
Emphasise all the bass notes.

I would suggest using the voicings in the text
column numbers below.
Regarding the CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS please follow the
information at the very bottom of the page.

Chord names & fret positions are relative to the capo:
Asus2  = x02200   E7sus4 = 020200   D/A     = x0423x
Am     = x02210   E7     = 020100   C/G     = 33201x
E      = 022100   A      = x02220   Cmaj7/G = 33200x
F6sus2 = 13000x   Asus4  = x02230   D7/F#   = 20021x
                                    D6/F#   = 20020x
