Capo on 1st fret, all chords relative to the capo. Therefore the tuning is actually
and so an E chord is in

reality an F chord, an F# chord is a G chord and so on. But I have transcribed it as if 
is the beginning of the

fretboard so just ignore the 1st fret and play the tab like you normally would.
