posted. I do NOT use a capo to play this song, and neither does band of
horses from what i can hear. all they do is drop down a half step, which
sounds MUCH better than with the use of a capo. Here is my tab of the song
EDIT: It would appear that BoH DOES use a capo when they play it. However I 
feel that dropping a half step gives the chords a fuller sound. Personal
NO CAPO USED
Tuning: Half a step down.
The base-chords used are C Am F and G.
