PLACE TO BE
     
Tuning DADGAF# capo 3ish (a bit flatter than concert tuning, so maybe 2!)
(or of course CGCFGE and capo a couple of frets higher)     


Here are the chord shapes. By the way, don't take a six-note 
chord to mean all of the notes are strummed all of the time - 
if you listen to the track it's fairly easy to duplicate.
