This an arrangement for the piano, which actually drives the song. I think it's 
pretty accurate, save a few dissonances which can only be added on a piano. That 
said, you can play the following chords capoed on the 6th, 1st, or figure out a 
cool open tuning to do this. The chords line up pretty well with the words. Thanks!
