Capo 6th fret
Henry plays this song live with a capo on the 1st fret and that's what I usually prefer 
but to avoid confusion I have also noted capo 6th fret to accompany the studio recording. 
For reference, I'd advise to watch this performance (1st fret):

On that Gerstwhile May Cadd9morning I took the Dadd4add9six downtown to Spring

I hand it Cadd9over to my upper angel who Dadd4add9visits me in sleep
We're in the Gfield beyond the Cadd9right and wrong and the Dadd4add9fallacy of form
Well you can Cadd9call it what you wanna call it I just say "Dadd4add9All is fair in love and war"
Well if Gall is Cadd9fair in Glove and Dadd4add9war
