Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah

This Tab is nearly identical to another one out there (with a few minor changes) except this is just a far easier way to play it using basic chord shapes. 

Capo on the 2nd Fret

Basic Chord Shapes:

C:x32010
Em:022000
Am:x02210
F:133211
G:320003

With the capo on the 2nd fret it moves the chords up a full step to the ones you see listed below. You could also play it without a capo making the song essentially in C rather then D, especially if you are like me and struggle hitting the high vocals. Also it helps, when you play the Em, to just lift your index finger off the board and keep a C chord shape, rather then shifting to a full Em position.
