This is the capo version of Cornerstone chords by Robert Farell that was submitted
by MyNameIsRamone.

Thanks a lot you two for making and submitting this tab here.

I think it would be a lot easier for some novice player to play this song without
the bar chords :) so i made the capo version of it.
But i'm still can't figure how to play Dm while placing your capo on 2nd fret so i
guess you still have to play the chord like this:

Dm: (335543)

here we go.....
