[The song is in F, but since it sounds really good played on the 8th fret, this version 
uses a capo on the 1st fret so the song can be played in E using mostly bar chords on the 7th 
fret (when capoed on first). Then the low base E string can be left loose so it give a decent base
line if playing solo. Also sounds good on 1st fret with open chords.  Or forget the capo and just 
bar everything on the 8th fret, playing in F]
