To match the live performance (http://youtu.be/Bw4SSpTw530), no capo.
To match the demo recording (http://youtu.be/Zc__CE3L2ho), capo 1st.
There are other differences between the two, such as how many times Chris
switches between the C and G chords at the end of a lyric; I made them all
three (like the demo). In the live version, G and C either two or four
times (two for verse and four for chorus). Another difference is at the
end of the verse: live, he plays a G7, but on the demo track, he plays
the normal G-C-G-C-G-C-G. The final difference is how he ends the song.
I noted that in parentheses.
