CHORDS without capo:
D=E
G=A
A=B
Bm=C#m
PS: I did it without adding extra base-notes.   I think there are some in the
BRIDGE especially...Bm to Bm/A, A to A/C# (or something).   Use 'em if you
want, I just don't pick the base note (i.e., I play the other notes of the 
chord instead). 
*There's a lick here, from a Stevie Ray Vaughan song, I'm sure, but I can't quite place
it.   If anyone knows what song the lick's from, or even if ya have the tab for it, let
me know and I'll post it here.
