________________________________________________________________
How tabbing capo songs works:

basically, for this song, it's just as if someone sawed off the 
first and second frets of your guitar, and you have to pretend 
the capo is now the headstock. I know it can be confusing at first, 
but once you know the chords in their altered positions you'll 
be fine. I hope.

Now, if you don't think Frank uses a capo, or if you just don't 
want to, or if you want to use a capo but play the technical
chord names, use the chords below and adjust the intro accordingly:

[intro/verse]: G+  F#7   G+   F#7
               E   B,   C#m   F#7   A   F#7
               C#m   F#    A   G#7

[bridge]: C#  E  B  A

[chorus]: E  A  B  C#m

(Email me if you've seen Frank play this live and if he uses a capo)
