Capo: 1

I play this song in a different key, solely because of my vocal range being higher than Ron Pope's. These chords work for playing the song in the keys of G - C (placing a capo on frets 1 through 5 will give the song in keys G# through C - a capo much higher than that will make it difficult to play). The song is originally in F, so if you wanted to, you could tune the strings down two semitones and play these chords so it will be in the original key. Intro: G Cadd9 G Em D Cadd9 x2 Verse 1:
