Capo: 2.

This is a simple but very powerful song. Capo 2. B7 is played in its barred version, so x24242 relative to the capo As he gets further into the song, he also starts rooting the B7 chord on the F# relative to the capo, so the chord shape turns into 224242. Not too hard to switch up. Also, he hammers on the B for the G chord pretty often throughout the song. It's fantastic, you should hear it live, just gut-wrenching. In his words, "Have you ever had your heart taken and put into traffic?" Just great. Here's the tab: G ---- G ---- G --- G w/ occasional hammer onto the second fret (relative to capo) on the A string
