If you capo at 3, the keys feel like D, D#, E and F, which is
almost do-able with fist position bar and open chords.
ie: F -> D Bb -> G C -> A
F# -> D# (x98676) B -> G# (799877) C# -> Bb (x133311)
G -> E C -> A D -> B (x244422)
G# -> F C# -> Bb (x133311) D# -> C
...clear as mud, eh? Well, Merry Christmas anyway!
