Tuning: I find the best way to play this is with the
Capo on the 2nd fret but only
covering the top 5 strings.This means, in the Chorus where it says A/D, play it as
a normal A chord in relation to the capo but add the open bottom string. The tab
below shows this: the bracketed 2's represent the capo.
However, it sounds alright if you just put the capo across all strings and play
a normal A chord if it's easier. :)
