My guess is this is originally played in Eb-Tuning as most of the stuff on the record.
If you play it in that tuning, get rid of the Capo and transpose +4.
And just play a regular E instead of Eadd9. It just sounds very nice on the C, which I'm sure you're aware of.
Capo III Version: To mimic the piano, you can flick in a D Dsus4 D change in the Verse and Main Riff.
