~ This song was just debuted on the Tonight Show - I'm sure some of the lyrics and chords will need 
  fixing when the studio version comes out. 
~ Tabbed for capo 2 because that's how they played it live, but it's easier to play transposed
  to capo 4 or capo 1 in my opinion.  You are going to play 2 barre chords no matter what. 
~ Transpose -2 and put the capo on 4 for D, A, Bm, F#m, and G
~ Transpose +1 and put the capo on 1 for F, C, Dm, Am, and Bb (my personal favorite)
