OK, for this AMAZING song you need to use the capo on the 4th fret playing the normal
chords, but it will sound much MUCH better if you play the notes this way:
         E A D G B E
C      --x-3-2-0-1-0--|
Em     --0-2-2-0-0-0--|
F      --1-x-3-0-1-0--|
G      --3-2-0-0-0-0--|
G9sus4 --3-2-0-0-3-0--|
At least for the first verse, it is very important to play the chords THIS way:
