Alright so I'm doing my best to transpose this to an acoustic chord format,
and it's how I play and sing it.
By moving the Capo around you can change the key, I have a higher voice, so higher capo.
Also my guitar is tuned a half step down, and I transpose to that
This probably isn't the most accurate, but I haven't
been able to find any other tabs for the acoustic chords, and I love this song.
