I saw the first version to this and it didn't sound quite right.  Marketa plays this
a capo on the 2nd fret, which the previous tab recognized.  In this tab I'm showing all the
used in relation to the capo.  This is my first tab but I know this is 100% accurate.  
seen this song played live by Mar and not only was it stunningly beautiful to say the
but I was able to see how she fretted each chord and where.  I love Mar and I love this 
 Have fun playing it, just be sure your heart isn't broken when you sing it...

(hand claps, knee slaps)

Am7/E
In the station you're standing
G5Not (355xxx@1)knowing what you want
Am7/E
And the secrets that we're defending
G5Have (355xxx@1)become our only bond
FJust (133211@1)be patient while I wait here
AmOur (x02210@1)journey's out of sync
FWhile (133211@1)you're out there running in the chaos
AmI (x02210@1)need some time to think
