  25 I decided to tab this relative to a capo on the first fret. The song is in
  26 F major, which means that you&rsquo;ll have to play barre chords all the
  27 way through. Feel free to do that instead, with the chords suggested at the end of the tab.  </p>
  28 <p>
  29 Instead of the &lsquo;slash chords&rsquo;, one can use sus4-chords (thus
  30 Esus4&ndash;E, Asus4&ndash;A, and Dsus4&ndash;D).
