VERY IMPORTANT NOTES:
Please take note that there are two different voicings each for the
A7 and D chords, and three variations of the G/D chord,
the appropriate one to use is identified with astericks.
FINE TUNING: It's likely the tapes were sped up fractionally at the
final mixing stage, making the original album track quite sharp,
so to closer match this pitch use a chromatic tuner and tune all
the strings up by +25 cents above standard pitch,
otherwise your guitar will sound a little flat in comparison.
Alternatively, use a live version that is in standard pitch.

Roger has a capo on the 1st fret, but is clearly already tuned
down a half-step, so his capo is just there to bring it back up
to standard pitch again, a very common practise when using older
12 string guitars to take a bit of pressure off of the neck.
