Capo SECOND fret. All frets and chords ARE relative to the capo.
Bsus4: x22400
Asus2: x02200
C#m: 446650
I think the C#m sounds better with the G# bass note if
you're playing solo acoustic, and is actually written
like this: "C#m/G#" but for shorthand, I'm writing it
like this: "C#m"
You can play it regularly if you wish, just leave out
the lower G# on the low E string.
This is the basic pattern for the intro/verses, listen to the
song for the exact strumming pattern, but this will give you
the basic idea. I will write in the chords above the lyrics,
but just be aware that the strumming pattern is generally
as shown below. Also, take note of the slight hammer/pull
between the Asus2 and the E.
