************************************
Playing the main part of the song with a capo should be pretty straightforward, in that case place a capo
on 4 and alternate between Em and Am.
I skipped writing the chords because it repeats switching between G#m and C#m with the strum pattern
G#m     C#m         d=down
d d d   duudu       u=up
I included some of the lyrics and chords below, for the rest of the song it repeats, until the last chorus.
