The song is in the key of F#.  These are the chords they use, so you can either A) 
Tune your guitar a half step down (Eb, G#, C#, F#, Bb, Eb) and play no capo, or B) 
Tune your guitar to D Standard and play at capo 1.

All of these chords are pretty basic, except for one that I've named C9, even 
though I'm sure that's not what it's really called.  The diagram for it looks like this, though:
