The trick to playing it my way is to play with capo 2 with the capo on only 5 strings, leaving the
high e open. The effecitve tuning would be F#, B, E, A, C#, e,but for purposes of my rapidly disappearing
sanity, I will transcribe the chords with the string names in mind, and use the actual chord names.


	E A D G B e
A	3 x 0 0 0 0
E/G#	2 x 0 2 3 x
Bmadd11	x 0 2 2 1 0
Bm11-7	x 0 2 0 1 0
Dsus2	x 3 x 0 1 0 or x 3 0 0 1 0
G6	1 x 3 2 1 0
	use thumb to press down the bottom E and mute the A

I checked the book and tonality wise, the chords are almost exactly the same.
The reason I capo it in such a manner is that the high e has to stay open for most
of the chords to work, especially the Bm chords, which are key to the song's success.

Also, the Bm11-7 is simply a variation of the Bmadd11, used quickly at the end of some phrases.
You should, just by listening, be able to pick up the changes. Especially listen for the G6.

Bmadd11	         Dsus2
And honey you should know
                    A  G6	     Dsus2
That I could never go on without you
I think there's an Asus4-A drop at the end of the phrase back into the Bmadd11 on "Green Eyes..."
That's about the trickiest part. Have fun with the song!
