You'll notice that Greg's capo is on the 5th fret in the video below but
that's just because he's tuned a half step down on that live performance.
Since I'm not sure about all chords names I advise you to look
hear that its pretty much his regular chords.
One more thing about the chords, after the C/G he almost every time releases
The Gadd11 chord looks like this:
E-x
B-1
G-0
D-0
A-2
E-3 (To play Gadd11/G# just play 4 here)
Capo: 4th fret (Standard Tuning)
Intro:  C/G(Gsus4)  C/G(Gsus4)
C/GI've been watching the people, Fsaying their goodbC/Gyes
AmI can see them trying to Fhold it together, C/Gas their family cries
C/GVisual marks on the skyline, Fas the chaos C/Genfolds
AmNever know what to Fdo with myself, C/Gbut it usually shows
AmSo how will I Ffly C/Gwithout you, without Gsus4you tonight?
               Am         F                 C/GGadd11/G#
