Please read:
I wanted to do this song with my band for a Holiday gig and thought it would be much to 
and play in a short time if I altered the existing tab by not using the capo and it down 
half step to the key of F instead of F#.

Also note that for the guitar solo you should play the chords like this:
F Bb F - F Bb F  INSTEAD of the progression of F Bb F - F Dm Gm. The rest of the solo 
it's just that one change you need to remember for lead guitar to play over. I've noted it below.

Enjoy!
T-bone
