Couldn't find a good chord chart for this song. They all sound wrong to me, except for maybe
one of them but that one is being played the hard way. Also a lack of a chord chart, and 
all of the
lyrics kind of triggers my OCD. And makes me fix it.

Capo 1 for the key that it's played on the album. But sounds great open.
