Capo 4, in C Major, 3/4 straight strum. Enjoy!
*A new note - for the F, it sounds even better if you play the A string open, and hit it on the initial 
downbeat. All you're doing is moving the middle and ring finger up one string each from the C.
Really he plays it with capo 2, D and G shapes, etc, with a partial capo so that the low E string can
be played to go along with the D capoed at 2 = E.

All of my heroes sit up straight

Me, I'm mumbling in the kitchen for the sun to pay up

Lonely is a ring on a cold coffee cup

I'm waiting in the wings while the trees undress

Cupping my ear to hear the wind confess

Thought that part was yours, but it might just be mine

I could share it with you, if you gave me the time
