I don't think he plays it with a capo...just from how I play it taken form 3.5.05...Play an E major in the shape of a D major but barring on the second fret with your index finger...its a hell of a stretch, but it sounds good...hammer on the high e string when needed. then play the A major chord, the F# minor barre chord and then occasionally throw in the B major barre chord on the chorus and, i think the last line before the chorus(i.e. "he was always there to lend a helping hand" or whatever). If you don't understand this I can get more detailed but the song is pretty staright foreward...S
