Capo SECOND fret. All frets and chords ARE relative to the capo.

B5 : x22400
A5 : x02200
C#5 *: 446650
I think the C#m sounds better with the G# bass note if 
you're playing solo acoustic, and is actually written
like this: "C#m/G#" but for shorthand, I'm writing it
like this: "C#m" 

You can play it regularly if you wish, just leave out
the lower G# on the low E string.


This is the basic pattern for the intro/verses, listen to the
song for the exact strumming pattern, but this will give you
the basic idea. I will write in the chords above the lyrics,
but just be aware that the strumming pattern is generally
as shown below. Also, take note of the slight hammer/pull
between the Asus2 and the E.

Intro/Verse Strumming pattern:
