This is how I beleive the song is acually played. There is no capo used when He plays
song. If there are any typos or mistakes feel free to let me know.

D/F# is just a D chord with the 2nd fret of the low E string pushed with the thumb. 
how I press it anyway)

this series of chords "G?D/F#?Em " is a G walked to a D/F# then walked to an Em.
