Capo 6 for Guitar
For piano, the chords are played with the left hand, and with the right hand the following notes G C C are 
played on each 3/4 beat, except for in the "middle" and "pre-chorus". This is 7 steps up, thought (because 
that's where I can sing it) so if you were to play this song on the piano in the same scale as the original
song, you would need to transpose the chords 6 steps down and play C# F# F# with the right hand.
