There are many videos of this song which require a capo on 3rd fret. HOWEVER, 
these are NOT the original. For the original song, place a capo on the 1st fret.

Also, please check out my cover on the song, performed on saxophone and acoustic guitar :)

I keep my knees black and blue 'cause they often hit the hardwood floor,
 A(Wake (x02220@1)me if you're out there), 
Bm (x24432@1)                  A (x02220@1)                        G (320003@1)    AAnd (x02220@1)I believe, so I'm not praying to the ceiling anymore.

I guarantee there are angels around your vicinity
