There are two ways of playing this song, with a capo on 5, or without a capo.
Kate plays it live with the capo, and that version is easier to play, but I think
the version without the capo sounds closer to the album version, and has the advantage
that you don't need to have a capo to play it, although the chords are a little harder.
So I tabbed the whole song with the chords for the capo version. If you want to play
it without the capo you have to play a C instead of a G, a F instead of Cadd9/C,
A G instead of D, etc.
At Live shows Kate sometimes play a Cadd9 and others play a C, but they sound pretty
much the same, so you can choose which one you prefer to play.
