CAPO: 2nd fret (Will then sound in the recorded key of Bm)
Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
Am = x02210 G7 = 320001 Em7 = 022030
Asus2 = x02200 Dm7 = xx0211 Am7 = x02213
Dm7 = xx0211 Dm7/C = x30211 E7 = 022130
Dm6 = xx0201 Bbmaj7 = x13231 G#dim = 456464
G7sus4 = 330011 G = 320033

An alternative to the G#dim above, without G# in the bass:
G#dim = x20104, or even(420100) which is more an E7/G#
but can still work.
