From Mike + Howard F.

Capo 1 (this is just one of the ways i figured out from the album, you can capo it lots 
of places and it can be different live, im guessing John's tuned down a step or 
something on the album..)
Can also just do Capo 3 and drop all the chords a full step, i play that sometimes too..
