Chords in parenthesis are relative to a capo on the 8th fret.
Capo at 3 would work, but 8 sounds closest to the album, where
I think the guitarist is barring everything way up the neck.
The instrumental bridge is tabbed at the bottom.
Let me know if I made any mistakes.
The recording is a little flat, A435ish, so you?ll sound
a little off pitch unless you tune down accordingly.
Weird chords:
For the capo 8 chords, you can hold the Em shape and just
accent the higher notes, or only play the higher notes.
No capo Capo 8

Instrumental Bridge:
The nice thing about playing with capo 8 is that you can play
the instrumental melody pretty easily while strumming the chords.
