So you can play this song two ways. You can do just simple D, Cadd9, G, and F... or you can do the bar chords for these notes which are DCadd9GF -x---x---x---x -x---x---x---x -7---5---x---x -7---5---5---3 -5---3---5---3 -x---x---3---1 Personally i think bar chords sound a lot better with this song. Other than that no capo and standard tuning.
